Luncarty J.F.C. is a Scottish football club based in the village of Luncarty, near Perth, Perth and Kinross. They were formed in 1886 by employees of a local bleachworks and after some years in local Senior football, joined the Junior grade in 1921. Their home ground is Brownlands Park.
Up until the end of the 2005–06 season, they played in Tayside Division One in the Scottish Junior Football Association's East Region, and they finished 2nd in the division's final season.
This would have seen them promoted into the Tayside Premier League but the SJFA restructured prior to the 2006–07 season, and the Bleachers found themselves in the twelve-team East Region, Central Division. They finished sixth in their first season in the division.
Due to league reconstruction in season 2013 - 14, Luncarty now compete in the SJFA East Region, North Division.
