The Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) is the highest level of league competition in women's football in Scotland. Its two divisions are SWPL 1 and SWPL 2. The league was formed when the Premier Division of the Scottish Women's Football League (SWFL) broke away to form the SWPL in 2002. SWPL 2 was introduced in 2016.

The divisions contain (in the 2022–23 season) 12 clubs in SWPL 1 and eight in SWPL 2. Glasgow City have won 16 League championships, including 14 in succession from 2007–08 until 2020–21.^[1] The champions and runners-up of SWPL 1 qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League.^[2]

From 2002, the league was owned and managed by Scottish Women's Football. Administration of the SWPL was taken over by the Scottish Football Association in 2007,^[3] then by the Scottish Professional Football League in 2022.^[4] The SWPL runs on the winter calendar but operated a summer-season format from 2009 until 2020.
