Invergordon Football Club are a Scottish football club from Invergordon. They competed in the North Caledonian Football League and play at Recreation Grounds, Invergordon. The team wore yellow and blue strips.
Although it is unknown the exact year the club was formed it is believed it was around the very early 20th century (around 1910). The club has only ever had two homes. Its original ground was the old Blackpark, (now part of Invergordon Distillery) and the current ground Recreational Park, Invergordon.
Invergordon was originally known as the "Maroons" with their first kit donated by Plymouth Argyle. Their colours have been changed on several occasions before settling on the current colours of yellow and royal blue.
The club withdrew from the North Caledonian Football League at the end of the 2013–14 season, but returned for the 2015–16 campaign.
