Chard Town Football Club is a football club based in Chard, Somerset, England. The club is affiliated to the Somerset County FA. They are currently members of the Western League Division One and play at Dening Sports Fields.
The club was founded in 1920, and played local football until joining the Western League when it re-established a second division in 1976.
