The 1970–71 season was the 87th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. In addition Dumbarton competed in the Stirlingshire Cup.

Scottish Second Division

Dumbarton had their best league campaign in over 10 years - including an unbeaten home record - the first for over 30 years, although with only 4 wins in 18 away matches, in the end it became a case of 'catch-up' - 8 wins in their last 10 games not being enough to challenge the leaders. Nevertheless, it was a creditable 4th-place finish, with 44 points, 12 behind champions Partick Thistle.

Scottish League Cup

Five wins and a draw from the six sectional games meant an easy section qualification. Then Partick Thistle were dispatched in the quarter-final, with the mighty Celtic waiting in the semi-final - and it was only after an extra time 0-0 draw that Dumbarton eventually succumbed by the odd goal in seven in the replay again after extra time.
