The Port Noarlunga Football Club is an Australian rules football club first formed in 1935. Port Noarlunga initially played a four-season stint in the Glenelg District Football Association before going into recess.

A revived Port Noarlunga club joined the Southern Football Association in 1947 where they have remained since. The Port Noarlunga FC continues to field teams in Senior and Junior grades in the Southern Football League.
