Dykehead Football Club was a football club based in the Dykehead area of Shotts, playing their home games at Parkside.

[2] The club were members of the Scottish Football League Third Division.

The early history of the club is somewhat shrouded in mystery, although they were formed in 1880 but did not register with the Scottish Football Association until four years later.

They eventually ended up in the Western League, which was incorporated by the Scottish Football League as its new Third Division for the 1923–24 season.

Dykehead spent the following season in the Scottish Football Alliance (now much reduced in status) and then spent 1927–28 in the Provincial League.
