Tobermore United is an intermediate, Northern Irish football club playing in NIFL Championship 2. The club, founded in 1965, is based in Tobermore, near Magherafelt, County Londonderry and currently plays its home matches at Fortwilliam Park. Club colours are red and black. The current manager is Jonny Law.

Tobermore United is the only football club in Northern Ireland that international superstar George Best ever played competitively for (February 1984). The club has an extensive and highly popular youth development scheme which has led to it being awarded official Football Development Centre (FDC) status by the IFA. It currently has teams at Under 11, Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16 level.

In the 2010–11 season the club gained promotion to IFA Championship 1 by finishing 2nd in IFA Championship 2, but were relegated again two years later.
