Binfield F.C. is a football club based in Binfield, near Bracknell, Berkshire in England. They are currently members of the Hellenic Football League Division One East.

Established in 1892, the club played their early days in the Ascot and District League, and moved to the Reading and District League in 1950. After almost forty years in that league, they entered the Chiltonian League Division One in 1989, and promptly won the title in their first year gaining promotion to the Premier Division. Their biggest success was winning the Chiltonian League Championship in 1996. When the Chiltonian League merged with the Hellenic League in 2000, Binfield joined the expanded competition and have been members of Division One East ever since. Since joining the Hellenic League, their highest finishing position has been fifth, which was achieved in both the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons.

The club moved to their current Stubbs Lane ground in 1980, after having previously shared facilities with the local cricket club at Forest Road. With Bracknell Forest District Council having granted planning permission for floodlights, Binfield are putting together a ground that will have the necessary facilities for entry into the FA Vase.
