Rovers Football Club were a 19th-century football club based in Glasgow that were one of the original 16 teams to participate in the inaugural season of the Scottish Cup.

Rovers participated in Scottish Cup tournaments between 1873-74 and 1877-78, reaching the quarter-finals on two occasions.

Rovers F.C. finally dissolved in 1878.

Rovers F.C. should not be confused with other Scottish teams of the same name, such as Rovers F.C. (1872-1882) in Edinburgh, or Rovers F.C. (1888-1889) in the Scottish Highlands. It should also not be confused with Rovers A.C. from Havana, Cuba, formed in 1909.
