The Free Church of Scotland (1843-1900) was a Scottish denomination formed by the withdrawal of a large section of the established Church of Scotland in a schism known as the Disruption of 1843. In 1900, the Free Church of Scotland united with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland to form the United Free Church of Scotland, which in turn re-united with the Church of Scotland in 1929.

However, a portion of the original Free Church of Scotland remained outside the union of 1900, and claimed the title Free Church of Scotland for itself. It continues to this day. (See Free Church of Scotland (continuing))
