Bodmin Town Football Club is an English football club based in Bodmin, Cornwall.

Founded in 1889, the club played at a number of venues before moving to Priory Park in 1948.[1] Having originally played in a white kit, the club adopted its current colours of black and amber in 1925.[2] Bodmin Town joined the South Western League in 1953, finishing as high as fourth in 1958, before resigning in order to join the East Cornwall Premier League.[2][3] The club returned to the South Western League seven years later and continued to compete in that league until 2007, when they became a founding member of the South West Peninsula League.[2] In national competition, the club reached the second qualifying round of the FA Cup in 1955.[3] They have reached the fourth round of the FA Vase twice and also competed in the FA Trophy in the 1970s.[3]
