was an English association club based in Gateshead, then in County Durham.

The club was founded in 1888[2] as a works side of the North Eastern Railway.

[3] It was a founder member of the Northern Football Alliance,[4] in which it played until resigning in 1903.

It reached the third qualifying round in 1891–92, thanks to its two biggest Cup wins, 7–2 over Ashington[6] and 10–4 at Whitburn; the Whitburn result was all the more remarkable as the match finished 4–4 after 90 minutes, and Gateshead scored six times in the optional 30 minutes extra-time.

[12] The club's ground was at Park Lane,[13] and it originally used the Ellison Arms for facilities.
