Witney Town F.C. (known at various times as Witney F.C., Witney United F.C. and Witney Town A.F.C.) is a football club in Witney, Oxfordshire. The club was founded in 1885 (as Witney Football Club) and adopted the name Witney Town in 1922. The club's most successful period was in the 1970s and 80s when they competed in the Southern League Premier Division, finishing 5th in 1983–84. The club folded in 2001, but a phoenix club arose under the name Witney United in 2002 and obtained the lease of the former club's ground. The club readopted the Witney Town name in 2011, but was dissolved during the 2012–13 season while playing in the Hellenic League Premier Division.
Witney Town re-formed for the 2024–25 season and appointed Ben Reardon as manager. They will compete in the Oxfordshire Senior League.[1]
