Forfar United Junior Football Club are a Scottish football club based in Forfar, Angus. The current club was formed in August 2020 following the amalgamation of the Forfar amateur team Lowson United and Forfar Albion (themselves formed in 1974 following the amalgamation of two existing local sides, Forfar Celtic (est. 1891) and Forfar East End (est. 1881)). After one season playing as Forfar East End Celtic, the name Albion was adopted in 1975. The club play at Guthrie Park.
Up until the end of the 2005–06 season, they played in Tayside Division One of the Scottish Junior Football Association's Eastern Region.
The SJFA completed its restructuring of Junior football in the east of Scotland prior to the 2006–07 season, and Forfar Albion were placed in the twelve-team East Region, North Division. They finished ninth, 12th and 12th in seasons 2006–07, 2007–08 and 2008–09 respectively, but showed encouraging signs of improvement during the 2009–10 season.
Under the new name Forfar United, the club managed an 11th place finish in the 2022-23 season, then embarked on a youthful rebuild from the 2023-24 season under the new management team of Danny Low, Steve Smith, Mark Stott, Kyle Buik, Fraser Reid (GK coach) & Ben Coutts (Physio).
