Bo'ness United Football Club is a Scottish football club, based in the town of Bo'ness. The club is currently a member of the Scottish Junior Football Association's East Region Super League. The club have won the Scottish Junior Cup on three occasions, in 1948, 1976 and 1984.

Nicknamed the B.U.'s, they were formed in 1945, at the end of the Second World War when Bo'ness, a club that had played in the senior ranks, being a member of the Scottish Football League from 1921 to 1932, merged with the Junior club Bo'ness Cadora. They presently play their home games at Newtown Park, which has room for around 7,500 spectators and has been used as a football ground since the 1880s. They play in blue.

As a result of winning the 2009–10 East Superleague, United competed in the Scottish Cup for the first time the following season. The club eventually reached the third round, defeating Scottish Football League Third Division side Queen's Park at home in round two. They also reached the third round the following year.

Bo'ness United have a healthy rivalry with Linlithgow Rose.

The following players all went on to be capped for the Scotland national football team after playing for Bo'ness United.
