Northfleet United Football Club was a football club based in Northfleet, Kent.
Founded in 1890, Northfleet United joined the Kent League in 1906-07 and were runners-up in their inaugural season. They followed that with three championship titles in 1907-08, 1908-09 and 1919-20. They joined the Southern League in 1927-28, joining the Eastern Section, but left in 1930.[1]
In 1946, the club merged with Gravesend United to form Gravesend & Northfleet, which is now known as Ebbsfleet United.
For many years, the club acted as a "nursery" side for Tottenham Hotspur.[2]
