Burton United was a former English League football club which dropped out of the League in 1907.  The club was formed in 1901 when struggling Football League Club Burton Swifts amalgamated with Midland League (and ex-Football League) club Burton Wanderers. The new club took Burton Swifts' place in the Second Division of the Football League and took over residence at their Peel Croft home.  The new club never finished above 10th place or made it past the first round of the FA Cup. In 1905 and 1906 the club finished in second last place, and in 1907 finished bottom when they were voted out of the Football League.
