Ebbw Vale Football Club () was a football club from Ebbw Vale, South Wales.
History Ebbw Vale played in the first season of the League of Wales in 1992–93. The club then finished 11th before finishing 3rd in two successive seasons to 1997–98. During the years when they finished 3rd the Giles brothers, Paul and David were key members of the team. The manager at the time was John Lewis.
They competed in the 1997 UEFA Intertoto Cup where they played Bastia, GAK, Hrvatski Dragovoljac, and Silkeborg. However, they were expelled from the League of Wales before the 1998–99 season began, and promptly went out of business. They played their last game against Kongsvinger in the 1998 UEFA Intertoto Cup.
A phoenix club Ebbw Vale Town F.C. was formed in 2007, and played in the North Gwent League until May 2018 when they folded.
