The Bournemouth Raiders was an American football club based in Bournemouth, England.
The club folded in May 2006.

Starting by playing and learning the game during lunch breaks, the players created a team called the Bournemouth Deckchairs, and in the fall of 1988 played back to back games against the local under-15 team, the Bournemouth Bearcats.
