The Brighton Football Club, nicknamed the Penguins, was an Australian rules football club based in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton. The club was a founding member of the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA) in 1892, before moving to the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1908.
After suffering financial hardship throughout the 1950s, the club merged with South Caulfield to become Brighton-Caulfield, before eventually moving to the suburb of Caulfield and becoming the Caulfield Football Club in the mid-1960s.
