Wick Academy F.C. are a senior football club who currently play in the Highland Football League. They represent the Caithness burgh of Wick, making them the most northerly club in the HFL.

They were founded in 1893 and play at Harmsworth Park with the "slope" infamous with visiting teams.

Wick Academy's most famous player of all time would have to be Peter Ronald, who scored seven goals in one game against Brora Rangers in 1992.

The team have a local rivalry with Brora Rangers F.C. who also play in the HFL. Both teams tend to find themselves in the lower reaches of the league and this adds to the atmosphere whenever these two teams meet.

Recently Wick Academy appointed Ian Munro and Richard Hughes as 1st team joint managers after Peter Budge resigned to join the SFA as football development officer at the Highland Football Academy. Munro and Hughes have long been associated with the Caithness side. Munro has been a coach with the club for the past seven years and played for Academy when they played in the North Caledonian Football League between 1977 and 1994 while Hughes also played for Academy in the North Caledonian Football League and the HFL.
