2022–23 Scottish Junior Cup

The 2022–23 Scottish Junior Cup known as the Clydebuilt Home Improvements Scottish Junior Cup due to sponsorship reasons, was the 136th season of the Scottish Junior Cup, the national knockout tournament for member clubs of the Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA). A total of 108 clubs entered the competition, two fewer than in 2021–22.

Belshill Athletic, Darvel, Lossiemouth United, Royal Albert, Rutherglen Glencairn, and Vale Of Clyde all took part once again having rejoined the SJFA, while Annbank United, Fauldhouse, Girvan, Kello Rovers, Pollok, Renfrew, Spey Valley United, and Whitletts Victoria did not compete after declining to renew their SJFA membership. Buckie Rovers, Hall Russell United, and Whitehills were in abeyance, and Pumpherston Juniors did not compete. Banks O' Dee Junior were the newest entrant (they were set up after the main Banks O' Dee club was promoted to the Highland Football League).

Auchinleck Talbot were the defending champions; they were eliminated in the Round of 16 by local rivals Cumnock Juniors, who went on to defeat their other neighbours Glenafton Athletic in the semi-finals, then overcame Rutherglen Glencairn in the final to claim the trophy for the first time since 1989, and the third time overall.
