Upper Hutt City FC is an association football club in Upper Hutt, Wellington who play their home games at Maidstone Park.

Upper Hutt City FC started as Upper Hutt United in 1926 and then alternative clubs was formed in the region through Taraua United in the 1970s and a women's club in Upper Valley Wanders in the 1980s. In the late 1990s the three clubs agreed to amalgamate as Tararua Sports Club with their clubrooms and home ground based at Harcourt Park. At a meeting in 1998 it was agreed that the football teams would play as Upper Hutt City Soccer before they were renamed Upper Hutt City Football in 2011.

After construction of an artificial surface pitch at Maidstone Park in 2011 it was decided in 2012 to move the clubrooms and home pitch to the park while still retaining Harcourt Park as its alternative home ground.
