St Francis Rangers F.C. is a football club based in Haywards Heath, England. They were established in 2002 after a merger between Ansty Rangers F.C. and St Francis F.C. They are currently members of the Sussex County League Division One.
The club achieved senior status, after gaining promotion from Sussex County League Division Three in 2004. They consolidated their position as the most senior team in Haywards Heath and finished in the promotion places at the end of the 2005-06 season. However the club was prevented from taking its place in the top division in Sussex because the floodlights were not erected in time. Twelve months later, they finished as runners-up and this time they were promoted to Division One.
The club gained several players following the demise of local rivals Franklands Village, who dropped into Mid Sussex Football for financial resasons.
