Taunton Town F.C. are a football club based in Taunton, Somerset, England. They were formed in 1947 by a few local businessmen as Taunton F.C., changing to the current name in 1968, and played their first friendly fixture in 1948.
For most of their history, Taunton were members of the Western League. They spent a six-season spell in the Southern League from 1977, and after a further period in the Western League, returned to the Southern League in 2002, after winning the FA Vase in 2001. After the latest re-organisation of the English football league system, the club are currently members of the Southern League Division One South & West.
Gary Domone is the current manager, taking over after Peter Beadle left to join Newport County. Domone became manager in 2005 after a successful few years with Hallen of the Western League.
