Broadbeach Australian Football Club, also known as the Broadbeach Cats, is a Gold Coast based club competing in the AFL Queensland Australian rules football competition.

Despite having been in existence since the early 1960s, the Broadbeach Football Club has only competed at state league level for a handful of seasons. Nevertheless, it has shown steady improvement throughout its brief involvement, and in 2004, under the coaching of Craig O'Brien, it won 14 of its 18 home and away matches and went on to reach the preliminary final before losing to Morningside.

In 2005, the Cats were one of eight inaugural members of Queensland football's new 1st Division set-up, and they once again reached the finals.

Broadbeach has an infamous rivaly with fellow AFL Queensland Division 1 team, Southport Sharks. These games often have higher than usual attendance of supporters due to the high tension of the games.
