Biggleswade United F.C. are a football club based in Biggleswade, England. They were re-formed in 1959 although local history records indicate that there was a Biggleswade United side playing at Second Meadow as early as 1929. They joined the Hertfordshire Senior County League Division Two in 1984. For the 2008-09 season, they are members of the Spartan South Midlands Football League Premier Division.

In September 2007, Biggleswade United started a bid to become the first English football team to be managed by collective membership via the website [http://www.mybufc.com/ myBUFC.com] . This plan was inspired by MyFootballClub, a similar proposition. Once myBUFC reaches the level of 5000 members, all decisions on and off the field will be completed by online voting of the membership. For example, with both myBUFC and MyFootballClub, members vote on the starting lineup, transfers, and many business matters, among other things.

Their best performance in FA Cup was First Qualifying Round in season 2005-06 and 2008-09.
