The Scottish Fiscal Commission (Scottish Gaelic: Coimisean Fiosgail na h-Alba) is a non-ministerial office. It was established by the Scottish Parliament to provide independent forecasts of taxes and social security expenditure, and GDP forecasts, to help inform the government's budget and its scrutiny by parliament.

It was formally created in June 2014, but moved to become a statutory body following the Scottish Fiscal Commission Act 2016. The commission is currently headed by Professor Graeme Roy.
