Lochgelly United were a Scottish football club based at Lochgelly's Schools Park (to 1901) and Reids Park (to 1910), before moving to the Recreation Ground in nearby Cowdenbeath. Nicknamed the 'Happylanders', the club were former members of the Scottish Football League.
The club was formed in 1890 by the merger of two local clubs, Lochgelly Athletic (formed 1886) and Fifeshire Hibernian (formed 1889). They spent their time variously in the Northern and Central leagues, and even had a spell between 1898 and 1902 when they played only cup games and friendlies. They were admitted to the Scottish Football League Second Division in 1914 although this competition was suspended in 1915 due to the First World War.
United played them six times between 1914 and 1924.
