Edinburgh United Football Club is a Scottish football club, formed in 1985. The team plays in the East of Scotland Football League (Conference C), having moved from the junior leagues in 2018,[1] and play their home games at Paties Road Recreation Ground in the Colinton area of the city. This ground holds around 2,500 spectators, 200 of whom can be seated in the fairly well developed stand at the site. Edinburgh United play in black and white strips.

Edinburgh United were the sole "Junior" club in Edinburgh for the majority of their existence, with all other "non-league" clubs either playing in the "senior" East of Scotland Football League or the Lowland Football League. Spartans ran a Junior team for four seasons from 2009 to 2013, while Warriston based Craigroyston joined the Junior set-up from 2016.[2] Both clubs moved into the East of Scotland League in 2018.

The team have been managed since October 2018 by Ian Flynn.[3]
