Cullompton Rangers Football Club is a football club based in Cullompton, Devon, England. They are currently members of the South West Peninsula League Premier Division and play at Speeds Meadow.
The club was established in 1945 and initially played in the East Devon Victory League, before joining the Exeter & District League. They entered the Premier Division in 1960 and were runners-up in their first season in the division, before going on to win it 1961–62 and 1963–64. However, they were relegated after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 1966–67. The club were later promoted back to the Premier Division of the renamed Devon & Exeter League and won the East Devon Senior Cup in 1983–84.
In 1993 Cullompton were founder members of the Devon County League. They finished as runners-up in 1997–98 and again the following season, in which they also won the Devon Premier Cup. In 2007 the league merged with the South Western League to form the South West Peninsula League, with the club placed in the Premier Division. Although they finished bottom of the division in the league's first season, they were not relegated.
The club initially played at Cullompton School Playing Fields, before moving to Speeds Meadown. Although they left Speeds Meadow to play at Knightswood and later Court Drive, they eventually returned to Speeds Meadow.
Floodlights were installed in 1998, and upgraded dressing room facilities were opened by Steve Perryman on 28 February 2012.
