Jeanfield Swifts F.C. are a Scottish junior football club based in Perth, Scotland. Their home ground is Riverside Stadium, located on Bute Drive in the North Muirton area of the city, to which they moved in 2006 from Simpson Park, where they had been plagued by fires and vandalism.[1][2]

Up until the end of the 2005-06 season, they played in Tayside Division One in the Scottish Junior Football Association's East Region, and they won the championship in the division's final season. The SJFA restructured prior to the 2006-07 season, and Swifts found themselves in the twelve-team East Region, Central Division. They finished in seventh place in their first season in the division.

Swifts are one of two junior football clubs based in Perth, the other being Kinnoull.

Professional side St. Johnstone are also based in Perth.
