The Inter City Midweek Football League was one of several Scottish supplementary football leagues run in the 1912 - 13 season.[1]

Because Wednesday was the only day that shopworkers in Scotland had off, it was decided to form a Midweek League for their benefit. Six top Scottish Football League clubs entered teams, but the competition was abandoned in November 1912 after only four rounds because of disappointing attendances.[1]
