Season 1994–95 was the 118th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 88th time, the Scottish Cup for the 100th time, the Scottish League Cup for the 48th time and the Scottish Challenge Cup for the fifth time.

Overview

Dumbarton began the league season in the newly structured Division 2 (and the first season where 3 points would be awarded for a win) as one of the favourites to take the title, however things did not begin well with only one win being taken from the first 5 games. However by the end of the year, results had taken them back into the challenging pack, and by the beginning of March, had broken clear to take the lead. This Dumbarton would hold until the final 3 games. Then a poor draw against Queen of the South saw them replaced at the top by Morton. The next game against a strong Morton side was lost, as was the title, meaning that only a win in the final game away against Stirling Albion would secure promotion. This was done, not without a few nervous moments, and Division 1 football for next season was the prize.

In the national cup competitions, however, for the third year in a row, success was extinguished at the first attempt. In the Scottish Cup Stirling Albion would advance in Dumbarton's place in the first round, after a drawn match.

In the League Cup, Premier Division Hearts defeated Dumbarton easily in the second round.

Finally, it was a fifth straight first round defeat in the B&Q Cup - this time to St Johnstone.

Locally, in the Stirlingshire Cup, the story was no better, with two qualifying defeats to Falkirk and Stirling Albion.
