The 2010–11 Scottish Football League Third Division (also known as the 2010–11 Irn-Bru Scottish Football League Third Division for sponsorship reasons) was the 17th season in the format of ten teams in the fourth-tier of Scottish football. The season started on 7 August 2011 and ended on 7 May 2011. Arbroath F.C. sealed the title, their first honour in their 133-year history, after a 4-1 win over local rivals Montrose on 23 April 2011.

Teams

Promotion and relegation from 2009–10

Livingston as champions of the 2009–10 season were directly promoted to the 2010–11 Scottish Second Division. Thus completing only a one-year stay in the bottom tier of the Scottish Football League. They were replaced by Clyde who finished bottom of the 2009–10 Scottish Second Division.

A second promotion place was available via a play-off tournament between the ninth-placed team of the 2009–10 Scottish Second Division, Arbroath, and the sides ranked second, third and fourth in the 2009–10 Scottish Third Division, Forfar Athletic, East Stirlingshire and Queen's Park respectively. The play off was won by Forfar Athletic who defeated Arbroath in the final. Arbroath were therefore relegated.
