was an English football club from the town of Leek, Staffordshire.

[2] Leek's first competitive match for the club was in the first Staffordshire Senior Cup in 1877–78, beating Cobridge in the first round, and losing to eventual winners Stoke in the second.

[4][5] At that stage the club lost 2–0 at home to the Old Carthusians in front of a crowd of 4,000; Leek twice had the ball between the posts, but both times the score was disallowed.

[9] A desperate scheme to pay the club's debts by sending out "collecting cards" was unsuccessful, the exercise not even raising £11,[10] and the club took a berth in the North Staffordshire League.

[13] The club originally played at Abney Road, a mile from Leek railway station.
