Scottish Federation of Women's Suffrage Societies is a Scottish organisation for women's suffrage. It was established in 1910 as an affiliate of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies in London for the constitutional suffrage campaign in Scotland. Those activists largely following peaceful methods were nicknamed as Suffragists.
The Federation supported the establishment of the Scottish Women's Hospitals proposed by Elsie Maude Inglis.
