Billingham Town F.C. is a football club based in Billingham, England. They play in the Northern Football League Division One.

History

In 1982, they joined the newly formed Northern League Division Two. They reached the 5th round of the FA Vase in the 1997–98 season. They are currently members of the Northern League Division One.

Their home ground is Bedford Terrace, and the reserve team of Hartlepool United frequently plays its fixtures there. As a result a pre-season match between the two clubs has become an annual event.

Central defender Gary Pallister began his career at Billingham Town where he started off as a defender, later moving to Middlesbrough and Manchester United where he moved back with age to the backline of defence. He also made 22 appearances for England between 1988 and 1996.
