Yorkshire Main Football Club is a football club based in Edlington, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. They play in the Doncaster & District Senior League Division One.
Little is known of the club's existence prior to the 1980s, thought it is thought they were formed as Edlington Welfare in the 1920s and proceeded to take the name of Edlington Rangers and Yorkshire Main through until the 1970s.
After being reformed in 1979 the club entered the Doncaster & District Senior League, winning the Division Three title in 1981. A year later they joined the Sheffield Association League, winning the Division Two title. In the summer of 1982 the Association League merged with the Hatchard League to form the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League (S&HCSL), and Yorkshire Main Colliery were placed in Division One, eventually securing a league and cup double in the competition's inaugural campaign.
On the back of their success in the S&HCSL, the club decided to join the Northern Counties East League (NCEL) in 1983, being entered into Division Two South. After two seasons of league restructuring, they found themselves in Division Two. In 1986 they became Yorkshire Main after the closure of the colliery.
In 1990 they won promotion to the NCEL Division One, and the following year they entered the FA Vase for the first (and only) time.
The club dropped out of the NCEL in 1991 after finishing second bottom, rejoining the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League. They spent seven seasons back in the S&HCSL, during which time they were relegated from Division One to Division Two, and in 1998 they decided to leave to join the Central Midlands League (CMFL), entering the Premier Division.
