Heworth A.R.L.F.C. is an amateur rugby league football club based in Heworth, York. The first team plays in the Yorkshire Men's League Division One.

In 1986, the club was one of ten founder members of the BARLA National Amateur League (now known as the National Conference League), and were the winners of the inaugural 1986–87 season.

Heworth has produced a large number of players who went on to play the game professionally, most notably former internationals Geoff Wriglesworth, Kenneth Bowman, Colin Forsyth, David Watkinson and Gary Divorty.

The club went into decline following their success in the early years of the league, and in 2012 were demoted to NCL Division Three after failing to fulfill one of their fixtures. In 2015, the club withdrew from the National Conference League altogether due to a lack of playing strength.
