Annbank United Football Club are a Scottish football club from Annbank, near Ayr, in Ayrshire. Formed in 1939, they are based at New Pebble Park and are nicknamed "The Bankies". They compete in the Ayrshire District League of the Scottish Junior Football Association, West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and wear black and white strips (uniforms).

The club reached the final of the 1952–53 Scottish Junior Cup, losing 1–0 to Vale of Leven in front of 55,800 spectators at Hampden Park. Annbank had required thirteen matches to negotiate the seven rounds to the final.[1]

In June 2016, Annbank appointed Graeme Neil and Tom Robertson of the Ayr United Football Academy as their new management team. The duo had worked the previous season at Lugar Boswell Thistle, bringing Ayr's pro-youth players into an adult game environment.[2]
