Harland & Wolff Welders is a Northern Ireland football club playing in the IFA Intermediate League. The club, founded in 1965, hails from Belfast and plays its home matches at Tillysburn Park. The club was formed by the welders of the nearby Harland & Wolff shipyard.
At present the Welders have a small clubroom/bar at their ground in Tillysburn Park, Holywood Road but also have one of the biggest and well run social clubs in Northern Ireland at 18-20 Dee Street, just off the Newtownards Road, Belfast. The ground is nicknamed 'The Metalworks' or 'Tinsel Ground' (a play on the Tinseltown nickname for Hollywood, California, due to the stadium being located on Holywood Road).

The current manager is Tommy Leeman having succeeded Eric Halliday who recently announced his retirement from the game following a long and distinguished career.
