Beith F.C. were a Scottish football club based at Bellsdale Park in Beith. [B. Crampsey, "The First Hundred Years", Glasgow: Scottish Football League, 1990, p. 292] The club were members of the Scottish Football League Third Division.

The club was initially formed in 1875 but closed down in 1883 and did not re-emerge fully until 1888. Nicknamed 'the cabinet makers', they joined the Ayrshire Football League in 1891 and would later play in the Scottish Football Combination, winning that competition in 1905. Around this time the club featured goalkeeper Hugh McDonald, who would go on to some success at Woolwich Arsenal. They eventually ended up in the Western League, which was incorporated by the Scottish Football League as its new Third Division for the 1923-24 season. Beith lasted the Division's three seasons, finishing 7th, 13th and 12th, but were not retained by the League. The club joined the Scottish Football Alliance and initially thrived somewhat, winning the Scottish Qualifying Cup in 1928. The club disbanded in 1938 but was quickly reformed outside the senior ranks as Beith Juniors.
