East Kilbride Thistle Football Club are a Scottish football (soccer) club, based in the town of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire near Glasgow. Nicknamed "The Jags", they were formed in 1968 and play at the Showpark, situated in the Village area of East Kilbride. Currently playing in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association, they wear black and white striped or all black strips (uniforms) with a black trim. Their change strip is all red or red and black hoops.

The club's greatest achievement to date is when they won the Scottish Junior Cup in May 1983 when they beat Bo'ness United at Ibrox Stadium. The final result was 2-0 to Thistle, with goals from skipper Joe Reilly and Kenny Gordon.

Thistle's current manager is former St Johnstone and Hamilton Accies striker John Brogan, who took charge along with Martin Clark on a co-manager basis in November 1999. Clark left to coach Celtic's youth players in 2002, but Brogan remained in sole charge and won the Sectional League Cup at Partick Thistle's Firhill Stadium, Glasgow in 2002 with a 2-0 win over Bellshill Athletic, thanks to goals from Martin McVey and Stephen Brogan.

Brogan later returned the club to Firhill for another Sectional League Cup Final in 2005 but were unfortunate to lose to Neilston 4-3 on penalties, after a 0-0 draw. However it wasn't all bad news when the club won promotion to Super League Division One, from Central District League Division One, with a 3-0 win over Clydebank in the last game of the season on May 1st, 2006.
