List of Yeovil Town F.C. seasons

Yeovil Town Football Club, an association football club based in Yeovil, Somerset, was founded in 1895. They were elected to play in the Southern League for the 1922–23 season. After fifty-one seasons in the Southern League, they were elected to play in newly formed Football Conference in 1979.

Yeovil were promoted to the Football League Third Division in 2003, after 108 years in non-league football, and the 2004–05 season saw them promoted to the third tier of English football. Yeovil's first and only play-off success came in the 2012–13 season, when they beat Brentford 2–1 at Wembley Stadium to win promotion to the Championship, and the second tier for the first time.

Since their promotion to the Football League in 2003, Yeovil have spent 1 season in the second tier of English football, 9 seasons in the third tier and 3 seasons in the fourth tier. The table details Yeovil Town's achievements in senior first team competition from the 1895–96 season to the end of the most recently completed season.
