Buckland Athletic Football Club is a football club based in Newton Abbot, Devon, England. Established in 1977, the club joined the Devon County League in 2000. They maintained membership of the Devon County League, with a best position of 2nd in their debut season, until 2007 when they joined the new South West Peninsula League.

The club used to play at Homers Lane, Kingsteignton, but when the lease on the ground ran out in 2005, they moved to a brand-new ground at Homers Heath on the outskirts of the neighbouring town of Newton Abbot.
