Harland & Wolff Welders Football Club is a semi-professional, Northern Irish football club playing in the NIFL Championship. The club, founded in 1965, hails from Belfast and plays its home matches at Tillysburn Park in the East of the city. The club was formed by the welders of the nearby Harland & Wolff shipyard. The current manager is former Glentoran FC player Gary Smyth.
The club's colours are yellow and black to display the link with Harland & Wolff shipyard and its iconic cranes. Harland & Wolff Welders share a long running rivalry with fellow East Belfast Championship 1 side Dundela. In April 2014 the H&W Welders formed a partnership with Harland Youth, a young club composed of six teams of all ages and they will now be called H&W Welders Youth
