Burton Swifts F.C. was an English football club from Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. The club ceased to exist in 1901 when they merged with Burton Wanderers to form Burton United.

Burton Swifts F.C. were formed in 1871. In 1890, the club became a founder member of The Combination. However, after only a year they switched to the Football Alliance. When the Alliance merged with The Football League in 1892, the club joined the Second Division of the League.

The club was not very successful, and never finished higher than 6th in their division. After finishing in bottom place at the end of the 1900-01 season, the club merged with neighbours, Burton Wanderers to form Burton United, which took Swifts' place in the League.

Burton Swifts played their home games at Peel Croft and this venue continued to be used at the home ground for Burton United. After the clubs demise in 1910 Burton Rugby Club took over ownership.
