The 2024–25 Scottish Women's Premier League 2 (SWPL), also known as ScottishPower Women's Premier League 2 for sponsorship reasons, is the 10th iteration of the second-tier Scottish women's football league, and the 3rd season organised by Scottish Professional Football League. The season ran between 11 August 2024 and 18 May 2025.^[1]

Due to the format changes planned for the 2025–26 season, which would bring the number of teams in both SWPL and SWPL 2 to ten, the 2024–25 season is transitional. The competition format remains unchanged, but there will be no promotion play-off in the 2024–25 season. The relegation to the Scottish Women's Football Championship remains unchanged.^[2]

Like the SWPL, the SWPL 2 introduced new silverware for the 2024-25 season, manufactured by London silversmiths Thomas Lyte.^[3]
