2013–14 East of Scotland Football League

The 2013–14 East of Scotland Football League was the 85th season of the East of Scotland Football League. Whitehill Welfare were the reigning champions, but not defend their title after moving to the Lowland League. The league was split into two separate divisions, the Premier Division and the First Division. This season saw a reduction in the number of clubs from 26 to 20, due to the departure of nine clubs who left to join the inaugural Lowland Football League, although additional reserve teams joined the league to boost numbers.

Three clubs were promoted from the First Division and two reserve teams also entered the division.
