Portishead Town Football Club, formerly Portishead A.F.C., are a football club based in Portishead, North Somerset, England founded in 1912. The men's first team are currently members of the Western League Premier Division and the Ladies first team are members of the FA Women's National League South West Division 1. The club is also home to nearly 900 Junior players aged between 5–16 as part of a merger between other Portishead junior football teams. The club is affiliated to the Somerset County FA. They have recently gone onto win the Western League Division One title, securing promotion to the Premier Division for the 2024/25 season.
Originally known St. Peter's Portishead until a name change in 1948, the club played in small regional leagues for years until joining the Somerset County League in 1975. They won the Premier Division title four times in five years between 1993–94 and 1997–98. After their fourth successive runner-up campaign in the 2004–05 season, Portishead successfully applied for promotion to the Western League.
In Portishead's first season of Western League football they finished in the top half of the table only to better their performance the following season. In 2006–07 Portishead achieved their highest ever finish in the history of the club finishing runners-up to Truro City Although Portishead finished as runners-up they were unable to be promoted to the Western League Premier Division as their ground was not suitable, lacking (at that time) floodlights. The 2023–24 season saw Portishead crowned champions of Western League Division One, an 8–0 thrashing of Gillingham Town securing the title.
The reserve squad plays in the Somerset County League Division one, while the 'A', 'B', and 'Colts' teams all play in the Weston super Mare and District League.
