File:Hampden Park.jpg, Scotland's national football stadium, holds several Scottish and European attendance records.]]

This article lists Scottish football attendance records under the categories listed below. The highest ever attendance for a UEFA competition match was in the 1969–70 European Cup semi-final at Hampden Park, Scotland's national stadium. A record 136,505 people attended the match between Celtic and Leeds United. The attendance of 149,415 for the Scotland vs. England international match of 1937 at Hampden Park is also a European record. The attendance of 147,365 for the 1937 Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Aberdeen at Hampden Park is a European record for a club match. Rangers' record attendance of 118,567 at Ibrox is a British record for a league match.

By club

=Current SPFL member clubs=

This is a list of all 42 Scottish Professional Football League clubs' record match attendances at their home ground. The vast majority of these records were achieved before the advent of all-seater stadia. The cost of building all-seater grounds, and a general decline in attendances, means the present capacities of the clubs stadiums are well below their record attendances. Some records were achieved at a club's previous ground, rather than their current location. For example, Clyde's record was set at Shawfield Stadium, whilst they have since moved to Broadwood Stadiumand New Douglas Park. Records set while ground-sharing or at a venue other than the club's home stadium are not included. For example, Celtic were the home team when 136,505 attended their 1969–70 European Cup semi-final second leg match against Leeds United, but the match was played at Hampden Park, not Celtic Park.{{cite web|url=http://www.hampdenpark.co.uk/the-hampden-experience/hampden-history.html|title=Hampden History|publisher=Scotland's National Stadium|access-date=20 January 2018}} Rangers' record attendance of 118,567 is also the British record for a league match.{{cite web |url=http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ibrox/0,,5,00.html |title=A Look at Ibrox' s Rich History |access-date=29 September 2013 |publisher=Rangers FC |work=rangers.co.uk |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090721124359/http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ibrox/0,,5,00.html |archive-date=21 July 2009}}
