Callington Town F.C. are a football club based in Callington, Cornwall, in the United Kingdom. They were established in 1989. Since then the club has grown from a single team to now hoping to field three adult males teams in the South West Peninsula League, the East Cornwall League and the Duchy League. For the 2007-08 season, they are members of the South West Peninsula League Division One West. The second team will be competing in the Palladium East Cornwall Division One while the club also hope to have a third team back at the Parc with a new team having applied for Duchy League status. The Ladies team finished 8th in the Jaipur Cornwall Womens League Division Two and are competing in the same league next season.

The club are continuing to develop their Ginsters Marshfield Parc ground and in 2006 opened an additional pitch, known as the Parc 2 to increase the number of teams that can play at their base. Together with their sister club, Callington Colts, the clubs have formed the Callington & District Community Football Partnership which aims to increase the facilities for all ages in the town.
