The 2005 Scottish Challenge Cup final, also known as the Bell's Cup final for sponsorship reasons, was an association football match between St Mirren and Hamilton Academical on 6 November 2005 at Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie. It was the 15th final of the Scottish Challenge Cup since it was first organised in 1990 to celebrate the centenary of the Scottish Football League.
St Mirren emerged winners after defeating Hamilton Academical 2–1 with goals from Simon Lappin and John Sutton to win the tournament for the first time after being losing finalists in 1993.
