Season 1928–29 was the 52nd Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 30th time and the Scottish Cup for the 41st time.

Overview

With just two wins from their first 11 league games, promotion was never going to be a real possibility and in the end Dumbarton finished 14th, out of 19, in the Second Division with 31 points - 20 behind champions Dundee United. Note that Bathgate resigned during the season and their record up till that time was expunged.[1]

In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton reached the third round before losing out to Raith Rovers.

Locally, Dumbarton were runners-up in the Dumbartonshire Cup for the fifth season running, again losing out to Clydebank in the final.
