Glenafton Athletic are a Scottish football (soccer) club, based in New Cumnock, Ayrshire. Formed in 1930, their history has been characterised by local success, with some national success too.

In the early nineties the club made three Scottish Junior Cup finals in a row, but managed to win only one of them.

They have a traditional rivalry with both Auchinleck Talbot and Cumnock Juniors. The club is based at Loch Park and is considered by many as the best playing surface in Junior football. The 'Glens' compete in the Western Region Junior League. They play in red and white

Recently erected was a stand in dedication to the late Michael Morran, naming it the "Mick Morran Stand". Joining the club in 1961, Mick combined physio and trainer duties, although he was recognised as club physio. He retired in 1996 due to ill health at the age of 78, giving the Glens an incredible 35 year service. He died on 13 March 2007 aged 89. He is the grandfather of Queen of the South midfielder Paul Burns.

Former Scotland internationalist and Partick Thistle goalkeeper in the 1970s and 1980s, Alan Rough is a former Glenafton manager.
