Helensburgh F.C. were a Scottish football club based in Helensburgh. The club were members of the Scottish Football League Third Division.
A Helensburgh club first appeared in 1874 but this one disappeared in 1882. Two other very short-lived clubs also appeared in 1885 (reaching the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup) and 1886. A fourth incarnation was born in 1896 and eventually took up residence at the town's Ardencaple Park. They eventually joined the Western league, which was incorporated by the Scottish Football League as its new Third Division for the 1923-24 season. Helensburgh lasted the Division's three seasons, finishing 15th, 7th and 1st. Despite being the only club to fulfill all their fixtures in the final season Helensburgh were not asked to remain in the Scottish League. A brief stopover in the Scottish Football Alliance preceded their demise in 1928.
