The following is a list of football managers and head coaches who have won the Scottish league championship, currently known as the Scottish Premiership.
Some managers have also won the other two major competitions in Scottish football, which are the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. This results in a manager winning a "double" (two competitions in one season) or a "treble" (all three in one season). There are also three national lower league championships and a national cup competition for lower league clubs, called the Scottish Challenge Cup.
