The President's Pucks was a Scottish cup competition introduced in 1933. It existed alongside the Mitchell Trophy for seven seasons.

With six weeks left in the 1932-33 skating season at the Crossmyloof Ice Rink, both the Scottish League and the Mitchell Trophy had concluded their seasons, leaving a gap in the schedule. Scottish Ice Hockey Association president, Frank Stuart, purchased and offered to award silver-plated ceremonial pucks to the winner of a new competition, to be called the President's Pucks after his generous donation.

The tournament went on to be contested annually through the 1938-39 season. The Glasgow Mohawks won the competition outright three times, in addition to one shared title. Four other teams won or shared it once.
