Kelty Hearts Football Club are a football club based in the village of Kelty in Fife, Scotland. Formed in 1975[3] and nicknamed "the Hearts" and "the Jambos", they play their home games at New Central Park,[4] which has room for 3,000. spectators[4] Their home strip colours are maroon, with white shorts and maroon socks, while their away strip colours are blue, with white shorts and blue socks.

For the 2018–19 season Kelty Hearts will compete in the Lowland League, the fifth tier of the Scottish football league system, having been promoted from the East of Scotland Football League.[6][7][8] The club were previously members of the Fife Junior League and the SJFA East Superleague, which is the highest division of the East Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association.

In December 2017 the club became a full SFA member, making them eligible to enter the Scottish Cup and move up through the senior divisions.[9]

Twice in Kelty's history they reached the Scottish Junior Cup final but were runners up both times. In 1999 they were defeated 1–0 by Kilwinning Rangers at Firhill Stadium. In 2007 they were defeated 2–1 after extra time by Linlithgow Rose at East End Park in nearby Dunfermline.

The team have been managed since October 2013 by Tam Courts.[10]
