Falmouth RFC is a rugby union club based in the town of Falmouth, Cornwall, in the United Kingdom. The club plays at the Recreation Ground.

Founded in 1873, Falmouth have been moderately successful, producing two players to have been capped by the England national rugby union team: E.J. "John" Jackett and Jim George.

On 24 November 1926 Cornwall played what was considered the best ever New Zealand Māori rugby union team at Falmouth RFC, with Cornwall winning 6–3.[1]

The club is currently in the Tribute Cornwall/Devon league.
