Social Justice Scotland (SJS), was a short-lived Conservative Party linked think tank created in August 2009 and closed down in December 2009-January 2010. By mid-February 2010 it was in the process of relaunching as the Social Justice Foundation.

SJS called itself:

a progressive think tank founded to develop and promote fresh thinking and effective new approaches to tackling poverty and inequality in Scotland.[1]

It also stated that it was:

an independent, non-partisan organisation inspired by Iain Duncan Smith's work on social justice issues.[2]
