Season 1962–63 was the 86th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 56th time, the Scottish Cup for the 68th time and the Scottish League Cup for the 16th time.

Overview

After the previous season's disappointments, Dumbarton were having similar problems in the league until a run of five victories at the end of the campaign improved the team's position to finish in a creditable 12th place with 34 points, 21 behind champions St Johnstone.

In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton fell at the first hurdle for the fourth consecutive season, losing to Arbroath.

The League Cup was however to prove the bright spot of the season, and after 3 wins and a draw from their sectional ties, and a subsequent play off win over Cowdenbeath, Dumbarton were to lose a close quarter final encounter against Rangers, the highlight being a 1-1 draw at Ibrox.

Locally Dumbarton lost out to Falkirk in the first round of the Stirlingshire Cup.
