Normanton is an amateur rugby league club based in Normanton, a small town within the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England.

The club joined the Northern Union in 1898–99 and played for a total of five seasons until 1905–06. They played at the Mopsey Garth ground.[1]

The club started out as founder members of the Yorkshire Senior Competition Division 2 (East), and moved as the competition structures changed.
