Lochgelly United were a former Scottish League team from Fife, Scotland. The club was formed by the merger of Lochgelly Athletic (founded 1886) and Fifeshire Hibernian (1889). Between 1896 and 1914 they played in the old Central League and the Northern League.  In 1914, Lochgelly were elected to the Scottish Second Division. This division was suspended at the end of the season and later abandoned with participating clubs losing their membership of the Scottish League in 1917. The club played in the Eastern League and then the Central League which, in 1921, was incorporated into the Scottish League as the new Second Division. In 1924 the club was relegated to the Third Division (formed the previous season).  In 1926 the Third Division was abandoned when it became clear that the financial costs of the competition exceeded the means of its members. Lochgelly spent one season in the Scottish Alliance before being wound up in 1928.
