Clifton Association Football Club, later known as Clifton Football Club, was a football club based in the Clifton area of Bristol in the late 19th century.
Clifton Association was a founder member of the Western League (then called the Bristol and District League) in 1892, and was instrumental in the creation of the Gloucestershire Cup competition in 1888.
In 1893 the word Association was dropped from their name, which became Clifton. The team resigned from the league shortly after the start of the 1897–98 season.
