Lochee United Football Club are a Scottish junior football club from the Lochee area of Dundee. Formed in 1892, they play their home games at Thomson Park, which has room for 3,200 spectators, 170 of whom can be seated. Lochee's colours are blue shirts, blue shorts and white socks. They were managed by former Scotland under-21 midfielder Ray McKinnon but after he resigned at the end of season 2009/10 Paul Ritchie (who had played for Dundee and Lochee among other clubs) was appointed manager, with long serving kitman Erno Scrimgeour, a fans favourite, being overlooked for the top job once again. Their all time top goal scorer is Kevin Coonie who left the club in 2005. Whilst playing for the Bluebells he attracted interest from many top clubs while playing at Thomson Park including Glasgow Rangers, Dundee and, more publicly, Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Lochee United currently play in the Scottish Junior Football Association's East Region Super League.
United's most recent success was winning the East Super League in 2008, as a result they participated in the Scottish Cup for the first time. They reached the third round of the competition after beating Bathgate Thistle 3–1 in the first round and Buckie Thistle 3–0 in the second round. United managed a 1-1 draw with Ayr United in the third round, taking it to a replay at Somerset Park. In the replay, Lochee lost 3–1.
They are one of two junior clubs from Lochee, the other being Lochee Harp.
