1944–45 Dumbarton F.C. season

The 1944–45 season was the sixth Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed in regional football during World War II.

Scottish Southern League
Four seasons of improving performances were not to be continued, with Dumbarton suffering a disastrous start to their fifth season in the Southern League campaign which saw only 3 points earned from the first 11 games. Things were not helped by a high 'turn-over' of playing staff and Dumbarton slumped to 13th out of 16 in the Scottish Southern League with 21 points - 38 behind champions Rangers.

League Cup South
Dumbarton again failed to escape from their qualifying section in the League Cup South, winning one and drawing two of their qualifying matches.

Summer Cup
Dumbarton suffered another first round defeat in the Summer Cup, this time to Partick Thistle.
