Lewis United Junior Football Club are a Scottish football club from the city of Aberdeen. Members of the Scottish Junior Football Association, they currently play in the SJFA North First Division (East). Founded in 1942 as a Juvenile side associated with the John Lewis & Sons shipbuilders in Aberdeen, the club joined the Junior ranks in 1947. They are based at the Chris Anderson Stadium (formerly Linksfield Stadium) which was rebuilt between 2007 and 2009 as part of the Aberdeen Sports Village complex. For the 2007–08 season the club played all matches away from home. During 2008–09, they shared New Advocates Park with Aberdeen East End.
