The Scottish National League Division Two (known as Arnold Clark National League Division 2 for sponsorship reasons) is the third tier of the Scottish League Championship for amateur rugby union clubs in Scotland.

The division was established in its current format in 2014 after the creation of three national leagues below the Premiership. This replaced the two regional Championship Leagues which were scrapped after just two seasons.

For the 2023–24 season, the division was reduced from 12 to 10 teams. ^[1]
