Bo'ness United F.C. are a Scottish junior football club, based in the town of Bo'ness. They are currently members of the Scottish Junior Football Association's East Region Super League.

Nicknamed the B.U.'s, they were formed in 1945, at the end of the Second World War when Bo'ness, a club that had played in the senior ranks, being a member of the Scottish Football League from 1921 to 1932, merged with the junior club Bo'ness Cadora. They presently play their home games at Newtown Park, which has room for around 7,500 spectators and has been used as a football ground since the 1880s. They play in blue.

Bo'ness United have a healthy rivalry with Linlithgow Rose.
