Irchester United F.C. are a football club based in the village of Irchester, near Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, England. They are members of the United Counties League Division One.
Irchester United Football Club was formed in 1883. They joined the Northamptonshire League briefly for one season in 1896–87.

Irchester rejoined the United Counties League Division One in 1969, and changed its name to Irchester Eastfield F.C. in 1980. However, after a decade under the new name, the club reverted to United in 1990. In 2009–10, the club secured its first league title, gaining promotion to the Premier Division. The club entered the FA Cup for the first time in 2011–12, however they were knocked out in the Extra Preliminary Round.
On 24 September 2016, after a mix up with match day scores being sent into sky sports, it was stated that Irchester lost 15-1 in a league game, in actual fact they drew 1-1 against Blackstones in that respective match. To make up for the error, Sky came and filmed a match at Alfred Street on a Tuesday evening, the match finished Irchester United 1-0 Stewards and Lloyds Corby.
The first team is managed by Steve Sargent. The Reserves are managed by Mark Walker, and the Under 18s are managed by David Cockings.
