Season 1956–57 was the 73rd football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 51st time, the Scottish Cup for the 62nd time and the Scottish League Cup for the 10th time.

Overview

By coming so close to promotion the previous season, confidence was high to mount a serious challenge on the Division 2 title. However, despite breaking the 100 goals scored in a league season for the first time, the 70 against was never going to be 'championship material' and only a 9th place was achieved with 38 points, 26 behind runaway winners Clyde.

In the Scottish Cup, however, two Division 1 clubs were defeated en route to a quarter final against Raith Rovers.

Dumbarton returned to old habits in the League Cup by failing to qualify from their section, although it was their poor home performances which were to count against them this season.

It was however the Stirlingshire Cup which was to bring some cheer, as an aggregate win over Alloa Athletic was to bring the cup home to Dumbarton for the second time.
