Solihull Moors Football Club is a professional association football club based in Solihull, England. The club currently competes in the National League, the fifth level of the English football league system, after achieving promotion from the National League North in the 2015–16 season.
The club was founded in 2007 by the merger of Moor Green (founded in 1901) and Solihull Borough (founded in 1953). The Moors entered the Conference North, the sixth tier of English football in 2007 where they remained until their promotion in 2016 under Marcus Bignot. After avoiding relegation in 2016–17 and 2017–18, the Moors narrowly missed out on promotion to League Two for the first time ever by finishing in third place before losing the play-off final to Grimsby Town, then once again losing the 2024 play-off final to Bromley. They also reached the FA Trophy final that season, but lost to Gateshead. Solihull Moors play their home matches at Damson Park.
