Tavistock Football Club is a football club based in Tavistock, Devon, England.
They joined the South Western League for its second season in 1952. Apart from an eight-season sojourn spent back in local football, they had remained members of the South Western League until 2007 when they joined the South West Peninsula League Premier Division. On only one occasion had they challenged for the South Western League title, on the 50th anniversary of their original entry into the league when, in 2002-03 they took the runner-up spot.
They were regular entrants in the FA Cup in the post-World War II period, with the best performance coming in 1954-55, winning three rounds to make the third qualifying round where the run was abruptly ended by Barnstaple Town by a massive 12-1 scoreline.
In recent times, Tavistock have entered the FA Vase and made a mark in only their second season of entry, when in 2005-06 they reached the fourth round (last 32) before going out in North Yorkshire at Pickering Town.
