Tontine Park was a football ground in Renton, Scotland. It was the home ground of Renton F.C. from 1878 until 1922, including their time in the Scottish Football League.
Renton moved to Tontine Park from South Park in 1878. There were no stands at the ground, only a pavilion on the north-western corner of the pitch. Renton were founder members of the Scottish Football League in 1890, and the first league match was played at Tontine Park on 23 August 1890 with Renton drawing 2–2 with St Mirren.
Although the club were expelled from the league later in the season after playing a friendly against a professional team, they rejoined in 1891. However, they resigned from the league a few weeks into the 1897–98 season. The last SFL match was played at Tontine Park on 16 October 1897, a 3–1 defeat to Leith Athletic.
After the club folded in 1922 the site was used to build housing.
