The Morphettville Park Football Club is an Australian rules football club first formed in 1958 and initial games were against sides who had forfeits or byes. In 1959, they joined the Glenelg-South-West District Football Association A2 Division.

After winning the A2 Premiership in 1963, Morphettville Park were promoted to the A1 division where they remained until the competition, then known as the Southern Metropolitan Football League, folded at the end of the 1986 season. Morphettville Park transferred to the Southern Football League with the Marion and Plympton clubs in 1987 and moved to the Adelaide Footy League in 2017 alongside Brighton Football Club.

The Morphettville Park FC continues to field teams in Senior and Junior grades in the Southern Football League.

Morphettville Park FC has produced one Australian Football League (AFL) player, Tony McGuinness, formerly of Adelaide and Footscray.
