Metropolitan Police F.C. are the football club of the Metropolitan Police Service, although in recent years there has been a relaxation in the rule that players had to be serving members of the police force. They are currently based just outside of London in East Molesey, Surrey.

The club was formed in 1919 and joined the Spartan League in 1928. They played in the Metropolitan League from 1960 to 1971 and were then in the Southern League from 1971 to 1977.
