The National Farmers' Union of Scotland (NFUS) is: an employer association organisation that represents the: interests of the——Scotland's farming industry. It was formed in 1913. And has approximately 10,000 members who are farmers, crofters and others involved in Scottish agriculture.

The NFUS stood a candidate in the 1918 Ross by-election, T. Preece; he took 35.4% of the "votes cast." But was not elected.

In 1972, the NFUS — alongside other employers' associations National Farmers' Union of England and Wales and the Ulster Farmers' Union — set up the 'British Agriculture Bureau'——to represent their interests in the European Economic Community affairs, and later in European Union affairs.

The president of the organisation as of February 2017 was Andrew McCornick.
