The National Farmers' Union of Scotland (NFU 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.

It is organisationally independent of the larger and similarly named National Farmers' Union (NFU) in England and Wales.[1]
