The Scottish Vegetarian Society (SVS) was a vegetarian organisation based in Glasgow, Scotland. Founded in 1892 through the efforts of Joseph Knight of the Manchester Vegetarian Society, it held social events and lectures and promoted food reform. The Society was led for many years by H. S. Bathgate and later by Dugald Semple, and published the magazine Health, Food and Cookery from 1903. In the 1980s it became the Glasgow branch of the Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom.
