The 1953–54 season was the 70th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. In addition Dumbarton competed in the Stirlingshire Cup.
Scottish League
After three seasons of mid-table finishes, Dumbarton fell to rock-bottom 16th place, with 22 points, 23 behind champions Motherwell.
In 1949, Division C merged with the Scottish Reserve League to form two regionalised divisions. Only 'first XI's could be promoted from the newly formatted Division C, and this became an almost impossible task as the smaller teams had to face the 'second strings' of Division A. It was however to be Dumbarton's fate that this season saw Brechin City win the North-East section of Division C, and so took Dumbarton's place in Division B. So for the first time since 1906, the club would play league football outside the top two divisions.

Dewar Shield
The Dewar Shield was a competition played between the previous season's champions of Aberdeenshire, Forfarshire, Perthshire and Stirlingshire. Dumbarton were drawn to meet the Aberdeenshire Cup holders, Buckie Thistle, but no doubt due to travel costs, Dumbarton withdrew.
Semi Final | Buckie Thistle | WO | Dumbarton |
Friendlies
Despite being two of the oldest clubs in Scotland, Dumbarton and Stranraer's first XIs met for the first time in two friendly matches.

- ^ The League Cup match against Forfar Athletic on 8 August marked Tom Donegan's 200th appearance for Dumbarton in all national competitions. Donegan went on to break two further records - first, his appearance in the league match against Motherwell on 10 April was his 229th competitive match for the club - overtaking John Miller's record set in the 1919-1920 season. And second, the league match against Third Lanark on 28 April would be Donegan's final game for the club - during his eight seasons with the club he set a new record of 230 appearances in all national competitive matches.
