The 2007–08 Scottish Junior Cup was a competition in Scottish Junior football. It was won for the first time by Bathgate Thistle after they defeated Cumnock Juniors 2–1 in the final at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock.
Under a recent rule change, the Junior Cup winners (along with winners of the North, East and West regional leagues) qualify for the senior Scottish Cup; Bathgate Thistle therefore competed in the 2008–09 Scottish Cup.
First round These ties were scheduled to take place on Saturday 6 October 2007.
