Buckie Rovers Football Club are a Scottish football club from the town of Buckie, Moray. After a period abeyance during the 2021–22 season due to organisational difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland, the club folded in September 2022. In July 2023 the club restarted and are entered into the Moray and district Welfare League with a view to returning to the junior setup in a couple years time after a rebuilding period. The Club have won a historic Treble in their first season back in football.
