Southwick F.C. is a football club based in Southwick, West Sussex, England. It was founded in 1882 and was among the founding members of the Sussex County League. It has won the Sussex County League title six times in its history.
In the 1974-75 season, it reached the FA Cup first round for the first and only time in its history. Under Ray McCarthy in 1982-83 it was Division One runners-up and runners-up in the County Challenge Cup.
Charismatic chairman Roy Pollard arrived promising "A brave new world" in 1993. He installed Barry Noonan as his right hand man, but a succession of managers came and went including Russell Bromage and Paul Hubbard. Pollard left in 1997 moving to Southern Spain leaving Noonan at the helm. Southwick finished bottom of Sussex County Football League Division One in 2005-06 and was relegated to Division Two. Southwick play in red and black stripes with black shorts and socks.
Former Hoffenheim & FC Schalke 04 manager Ralf Rangnick, used to play for Southwick F.C. while studying in England.
They enjoy a fierce, if good natured, rivalry with near neighbours Mile Oak FC
