Whitletts Victoria Football Club are a Scottish football club, historically based in the Whitletts area of Ayr, South Ayrshire. The club currently play in the West of Scotland League Second Division.

Nicknamed The Vics, the club were formed in 1944 and currently play at New Voluntary Park, Whitletts, near Ayr town centre.[1] In February 2011, the club were forced to leave their traditional home of Voluntary Park in Whitletts, which doubled up as a greyhound racing track,[2] after the local council closed the stadium. The stadium has since been demolished and is now the site of a new social housing complex named Victoria Crescent, after the club. Since then, the club has returned home to Whitletts to their new purpose built stadium at New Voluntary Park.
