Nuneaton Town Football Club is an English football club based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The club participates in the National League North, the sixth tier of English football.
In 1889 Nuneaton St. Nicholas were the first team to play senior football within Nuneaton. Five years later, they changed their name to Nuneaton Town, and played until 1937 when the club was disbanded. However, two days later Nuneaton Borough F.C. were founded. In 2008 the club was liquidated, and due to a FA ruling were reformed as Nuneaton Town – suffering a two division demotion. The club is still known as 'The Boro' by its supporters.
The club currently play their home fixtures at Liberty Way, Nuneaton. The club's home colours are blue & white (usually vertical stripes).
Local rivals include Tamworth, Leamington, Bedworth United and Coventry City.
The club origins date from 1889 when young men from Nuneaton St. Nicolas Parish Church formed a football team to represent the town. Originally playing only friendly games, from 1892 Nuneaton St.Nicolas entered Charity Cup competitions. In September 1894 the 'Nicks’ changed their name to Nuneaton Town Association F.C.

On 13 May 1937 at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, it was decided to wind up the football club. This was despite Nuneaton Town being financially sound (having sold their Manor Park ground to Nuneaton Corporation the previous December).
Following the disbandment of 'the Boro' by its shareholders, a new group of 'local gentlemen' decided to reform the football club. The new name Nuneaton Borough reflected the royal charter status that the town had been granted.
