Westbury United F.C. are a football club based in Westbury, Wiltshire, England. They joined the Western League in 1984. Westbury played in the Premier Division for ten seasons from 1992, but were relegated back to Division One in 2002 and remain there to this day.

The club has been competing in the FA Cup in most seasons since 1922, with the highlight being reaching the First Round Proper in 1937-38, losing to London side Walthamstow Avenue at home by 3-1. They are one of the few clubs to have taken part in every FA Vase since that competition's inception, but have yet to reach the later stages - their best showing being reaching the third round (last 64), which they have on three occasions.

Ground

Westbury United play their home matches at Meadow Lane, which is right in the centre of the town. The ground has two small stands, one being along the length of the pitch sitting just in the middle, and the other in one corner behind the goal. There are trees that surround the ground making it look enclosed, and there is plenty of space for additional stands to be built if necessary. The pitch has a small wall going around the outside of it, making the ground look more professional, and also has a set of nets behind one goal to stop the balls from going into the adjacent housing.
