Tufnell Park Football Club was a football club based in London, England. One of the top amateur clubs in the country in the early 20th century, they merged with Edmonton Borough in 1950 to form Tufnell Park Edmonton.
The club was established in 1907 and joined Division One of the London League. They finished third in their first season in the division and were promoted to the Premier Division. However, the following season saw the club finish bottom of the Premier Division, resulting in relegation to Division One B. They were Division One B runners-up in 1909–10, also reaching the semi-finals of the FA Amateur Cup (where they lost 4–0 to eventual winners RMLI Gosport, and were placed in Section B of the Premier Division when the league was reorganised the following season. In 1911 the club's reserve team broke away to form Tufnell Spartans.
Tufnell Park reached the Amateur Cup semi-finals again in 1911–12, this time losing 1–0 to Eston United. The club were demoted to Division Two of the London League in 1912, at which point they also entered a team into the Athenian League. They won the London Senior Cup in 1912–13, and at the end of the season the club were moved to Division One as Division Two was abolished. The 1913–14 season saw them win the Athenian League title, as well as a third appearance in the Amateur Cup semi-finals, which ended with a 2–0 defeat to Northern Nomads.
When football resumed after World War I, Tufnell Park joined the Isthmian League. They reached the final of the Amateur Cup in 1919–20, losing 1–0 to Dulwich Hamlet at the Old Den. In 1921–22 they reached the sixth qualifying round of the FA Cup, losing 2–1 to Third Division North club Grimsby Town in a replay. In 1923–24 the club won the London Senior Cup again, but the team was on the wane and finished bottom of the Isthmian League in 1929–30.
