Evesham United Football Club are an English football club based in Evesham, Worcestershire. They reached the first round proper of the FA Cup for the first time in the 2008–09 season.

History
Evesham United FC was founded shortly after World War II by returning servicemen, replacing the town's earlier club Evesham Town, who had reached the FA Amateur Cup final in 1923. The new club started life in the Worcester League before switching to the Worcestershire Combination in 1951, winning the league title in their second season in the league. After a second title win in 1955 they switched to the Birmingham & District League where they were coached by former Coventry City captain Charlie Timmins during the 1960–61 season.
In 1962 the club left the Birmingham League and, after a short spell in the Warwickshire League, rejoined the Worcestershire Combination, which was renamed the Midland Combination soon afterwards, and in which they were to remain until 1992. During this time they claimed three more league titles, after the last of which they stepped up to the Southern League. In the 2004–05 season former Coventry City player David Busst led them to promotion to the Premier Division but the club was relegated straight back down after just one season.
In 2008 the club reached the FA Cup first round for the first time. They eventually lost 2–0 away to Torquay United. Earlier in the competition they defeated Rushden and Diamonds of the Conference 2–0 with a brace from Danny Scheppel.
L'Evesham United gioca le sue partite casalinghe al Jubilee Stadium, uno stadio con una capacità di 3.000 spettatori. Lo stadio è stato ristrutturato nel 2005 e dispone di un campo in erba sintetica, nonché di una tribuna principale con posti a sedere.
La squadra ha vinto il Worcestershire Senior Cup sette volte, l'ultima delle quali nel 2019. Ha inoltre raggiunto i quarti di finale della FA Cup in due occasioni, nel 1953-54 e nel 1963-64.
