The Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women is a biographical dictionary of women who have made a significant contribution to Scottish life over seventeen centuries. It was first published in 2006 by Edinburgh University Press before a new updated edition was published in print in 2017 before an online edition was made available in 2019.

The earliest biography included is that of "the shadowy Taneu, or Thenew, traditionally identified as the daughter of a 5th century king of Lothian."

Origins
Elizabeth Ewan, Sian Reynolds, Sue Innes and Rose Pipes were the joint editors, poring over 1,000 entries. They set out a rationale in their introduction as to why certain biographies were to be included: with 'quasi-historical figures' also among their inclusion criteria; also women who represented special roles in ‘Scottish life or economy'; and even fictional characters with great cultural significance like Maw Broon.

The New Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women was first published in print in 2017 and edited by Elizabeth Ewan and Rose Pipes this time. An online edition was then made available in November 2019.
