Ilfracombe Town F.C. is a football club based in Ilfracombe, Devon, England. The club was founded in 1902 as Ilfracombe F.C. and became a founder member of the North Devon League in 1904. In 1920, the "Town" suffix was added to the club's title. In 1922, the club switched to the East Devon League. They were the founding members of the Western Football League Division Three in 1949 and progressed through the division until reaching the Western League top flight in 1953. After only two seasons, they were relegated and after four more seasons in Division Two, left the Western League in 1959.

After a quarter of a century back in local football in the North Devon League, they re-joined the Western League in 1984 as members of Division One, a status they had retained until promotion in 2007.

Their best FA Cup performance dates back to the 1952-53 season, when the club reached the final qualifying round before being defeated by Llanelli. They have not come close to equalling this since, and for a number of years did not even enter the competition. In the FA Vase, they have entered each season since 1986, but again, success has been limited with the best performances being second round (last 128) appearances 1992-93, 1998-99 and 2006-07.

The club play at Marlborough Park, situated high on a hill overlooking the Bristol Channel.
