The Scottish Premier League Golden Boot was a football award presented to the leading goalscorer at end of every season of the Scottish Premier League (SPL). The Scottish Premier League (SPL) replaced the Scottish Premier Division as the top flight of Scottish football for the 1998–99 season, but was replaced by the Scottish Premiership as the top division by the end of the 2012–13 season after the merger of the Scottish Premier League (SPL) and Scottish Football League (SFL) to form the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL).
