The 2012–13 East of Scotland Football League was the 84th season of the East of Scotland Football League. Stirling University were the defending champions.
The league was split into two separate divisions, the Premier Division and the First Division. This season saw 26 teams competing across the two divisions, which was the largest number in the league's history prior to the influx of Junior clubs in 2018–19.
