Brora Rangers are a non-professional senior football club from the village of Brora, Sutherland, currently playing in Scotland's Highland Football League.

They were founded in 1879 and played at Inverbrora Park, which is now the site of the Hunters of Brora woollen mills. They moved to Dudgeon Park on October 22, 1932.

The following year they gained access to membership of the Scottish Football Association and entered the draw for the Scottish Qualifying Cup competition. They were accepted into membership of the Highland League in 1962.

They won the North of Scotland Qualifying Cup competition in their centenary year, 1979, when they defeated Peterhead 5–0 on November 17 after a replay at Grant Street Park, Inverness, the teams having played a goal-less draw the previous week.

In succeeding years Brora Rangers won both the Highland League Cup competition and the North of Scotland Cup competition.

Their best placing in the Highland League to date was in 1980 when they finished runners up.[1]

As a senior club they play in the Scottish Cup.

The current team manager is former Aberdeen player Andy Macleod.
