Gedling Town Football Club was a semi-professional football club based in Stoke Bardolph, Nottinghamshire, England. Founded in 1985 as R & R Scaffolding, the works team of a construction firm from Netherfield, the club played its first four seasons in the Notts Amateur League before adopting the Gedling Town name in 1990. Gedling joined the nationwide league system in 1992. At the time of its dissolution in 2011 due to insolvency, the team competed in the East Midlands Counties Football League (EMCFL) Premier Division at the tenth tier of the English football pyramid.
Gedling played its home matches at the Riverside Stadium from at least 1990. Before transferring to the EMCFL in 2008, the club competed in the Northern Counties East Football League (NCEL) Division One and three Central Midlands Football League (CML) divisions. At its height, Gedling played at the ninth tier between 2000 and 2004. National tournament records included reaching the third qualifying round of the FA Cup in 2003–04 and the fourth round of the FA Vase in 2003–04, 2004–05 and 2005–06. The team were nicknamed "The Ferrymen", and their colours were primarily yellow and blue.
