Bexley United Football Club was a football club based in Welling.

There was a club of the same name which played in the Kent League before the war. The club was resurrected in 1951 following a local campaign,[1] and joined the Kent League.

In 1959, the team were elected to the Southern Football League Division One. They gained promotion to the Southern League Premier Division in 1961 and also won the Kent Senior Cup for the only time. In 1963, the side changed their name to Bexley United.

Four seasons after promotion into the Premier Division, Bexley found themselves relegated back into Division One, staying there for the rest of the club's life, except when moving into the Division One South when the league structure was altered. At this point, the club went into financial trouble and never truly recovered. Bexley played their final game in April 1976 in front of 222 spectators.[1]
