Thackley A.F.C. are a football club based in Thackley, north Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. The club plays in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division. Their home ground is the Dennyfield, and the primary colours of the club are red and white.

Thackley FC was formed in 1930, spending much of their early years in local football before moving into county-wide leagues and joining the West Riding County Amateur League in 1939, where they would spend 25 years, winning that league on five occasions before a brief spell in the West Yorkshire League. In 1967 Thackley joined the Yorkshire League's Division Two, where they would go on to win and be promoted to Division One in 1974 before becoming a founding member of the Northern Counties East League's Premier Division in 1982. The club has never been promoted or relegated from that division since, with their best season being in 1993–94 when they were runners-up, losing out only on goal difference to Stocksbridge Park Steels.^[1]

Thackley's best performance in a national cup competition was seen in 1980–81 for the FA Vase, where they reached the fifth round. The club has never progressed beyond the second qualifying round of either the FA Cup or the FA Trophy.^[2]
