Petersfield Town F.C. are an English football club based in Petersfield, Hampshire, England. They are currently members of Wessex League Division One. They play at the Love Lane Stadium.
The club was founded in 1993 after the demise of Petersfield United (founded 1889). United folded after being denied permission to switch from the Isthmian League to the Wessex League.

The club plays at Love Lane Stadium, their home since 1948. Previously the club played at Princes Road on the land subsequently owned by Hampshire Cattle Breeders, and latterly the site of Kings Road and Dukes Close.[1]
The stadium has a capacity of 3,000, of which 250 is seated (this was the limit set for a match with Aldershot Town in 1993), with one all-seating stand down one side of the field of play. It also has floodlights. The stadium is situated opposite renowned fee-paying school Churcher's College.
In August 2007 the town council expressed concern at the dilapidated state of the ground, describing it as "a magnet for teenage vandals".[2]
