was an English association football club from the village of Lower Darwen in Lancashire.

Although Lower Darwen lost 5–0, the club gained £17 in gate receipts.

[2] Brindle himself remained with Lower Darwen until the club's final season.

[3] The club's most notable scalp was Preston North End in the Lancashire Cup in 1882–83, Lower Darwen winning 2–0 away from home, albeit because Preston were banned from fielding their sub rosa professional players in the competition.

[10] The club recovered enough from that defeat to continue playing friendlies, but another hammering - 13–2 at Higher Walton, conceding nine without reply in the second half[11] - in December seems to have killed off the last remnants of interest in keeping the club going.
