Halifax Town AFC was an English football team from the town of Halifax, West Yorkshire. The club was formed in 1911 and played in the Yorkshire Combination and the Midland League before becoming one of the founder members of Football League Third Division North in 1921. Halifax remained in that division until restructuring in 1958.  The club nearly always struggled financially and was relegated from the recently established Football League Third Division in 1963. The club was subsequently re-elected several times in the Fourth Division in the 1980s after finishing near the bottom of the Football League. Following the introduction of automatic promotion and relegation between the Fourth Division and the Conference, the club continued to struggle before being finally relegated in 1993. Halifax Town went into administration during the 2007–08 season and, after finishing 20th in the Conference National League, the club went into administration and was disolved.  The club was reformed and renamed F.C. Halifax Town in July 2008. They currently compete in the National League, the third tier of English football.
