Flackwell Heath Football Club is a football club based in Flackwell Heath, near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, England. Affiliated to the Berks & Bucks Football Association, they are currently members of the Hellenic League Premier Division and play at Wilks Park.
The club was established in 1907 and joined the High Wycombe and District League. They went on to win the league twelve times, as well as winning the High Wycombe Senior Challenge Cup twelve times. In 1950 the club moved up to Division Two of the Great Western Combination, which they won at the first attempt to earn promotion to Division One. This was renamed the Premier Division in 1954, and the club were runners-up in 1956–57 before winning the league in 1957–58. They were champions again in 1962–63. However, the league folded at the end of the 1963–64 season, resulting in the club returning to the High Wycombe and District League.
In 1974–75 Flackwell Heath won both the Reading Senior Cup and the Berks & Bucks Intermediate Cup. In 1976 they moved up to Division One of the Hellenic League and were runners-up in their first season in the division, earning promotion to the Premier Division. In 1982 they switched to the Athenian League, but it folded at the end of the 1983–84 season, with the club joining Division Two North of the Isthmian League instead. At the end of the 1984–85 season they were transferred to Division Two South, where they remained until league restructuring saw them placed in Division Three in 1991. The division was renamed Division Two in 2002, and when it was abolished in 2006, the club were initially due to be transferred to the Spartan South Midlands League, but East Ham United folding led to the club being restored to the Isthmian League and placed in Division One North.
