The 2013–14 Scottish Junior Cup was the 128th season of the Scottish Junior Cup, the national knockout tournament for member clubs of the Scottish Junior Football Association. The winner of this competition is eligible to enter the following season's Scottish Cup at the first round stage.^[1]

A total of 160 clubs entered, three fewer than the previous season. Dropping out were Bankfoot Athletic, Bishopmill United and Lossiemouth United, who were in abeyance, RAF Lossiemouth, who were playing in welfare football, and Spartans, who had transferred their Junior side to the East of Scotland League. New member Kennoway Star Hearts made their debut in the competition, while Dufftown returned to the tournament after a period of abeyance.

The four Junior clubs qualified for this season's Scottish Cup, were not included in the draw for the first round. These were the East Superleague champions Linlithgow Rose, North Superleague champions Culter, West Super League champions and reigning Junior Cup holders Auchinleck Talbot and Girvan who qualify automatically as a full member of the Scottish Football Association.
