Balintore Football Club was a football club in Scotland. They played at Seaboard Park in Balintore, near the town of Tain in the Scottish highlands.

The club was originally formed after the Great War under the names of "Seaboard Swifts" or simply "Balintore" playing friendly matches against neighbouring towns and villages. They became members of the Ross-shire Junior League in 1932 under the new name of "Seaside Swifts" and played competitively at a park located close to Hilton until the team disbanded upon the outbreak of the World War II.[1] After the conflict, they reformed under a new name "Seaside Rovers" once again as members of the Ross-shire Junior League, before joining the Ross-shire Welfare League.[2] In 1980, Balintore became members of the North Caledonian Football League where they remained as members until their withdrawal at the end of the 2011-12 season.[3]
