Saltash United Football Club is a football club based in Saltash, Cornwall, in the United Kingdom. Established in 1946, the club was one of the founding members of the South Western League in 1951. The club has won the South Western League twice and the Western League three times in their history. They spent the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons in the Western League Division One but resigned and returned to the South Western League in 2006. When the South Western League merged with the Devon County League to form the new South West Peninsula League, Saltash became members of the Premier Division of the new competition.
The club has competed in all three of the major FA competitions over the years. In the FA Cup, they have been irregular entrants since 1970. Their most successful season was 1987-88, when they fell one round short of making the First Round Proper, losing to Farnborough Town in the Fourth Round Qualifying. In the FA Trophy, they competed from 1980 to 1993, making the competition proper in two successive seasons in the mid 1980s, while after having been transferred from the Trophy to the FA Vase, their longest run was in 1996-97, when they made the Third Round (last 64).
