Coventry United Football Club is an English association football club based in Coventry in the West Midlands, England, United Kingdom. The team competes in the United Counties League Premier Division South, the 9th tier of English football, and is managed by Ellis Alleyne.

The club was founded in 2013 by chairman Jason Kay along with three co-chairmens, Jason Timms, Marcus Green, Pete Schofield, and Club secretary Graham Wood, following a takeover of Coventry Spartans in reaction to Coventry City moving from the Ricoh Arena to Northampton to play at Sixfields Stadium.[1] Edwin Greaves had been in charge of the club since its foundation until the Spring of 2016, when he was replaced by Terry Anderson.

On the 4th of July 2015, the club announced the takeover of Coventry City Ladies F.C, re-branding the ladies side Coventry United Ladies F.C.;[2] but this arrangement ended in June 2023 when the women's team was rebranded as Rugby Borough W.F.C.[3]
