St Andrew's Football Club was an association football club from Kilmarnock, Ayrshire in Scotland.
The club was founded in 1873.[3]
St Andrew's first entered the Scottish Cup in 1876–77, and was drawn at home to Ayr Eglinton in the first round.[4] The game ended in a 1–1 draw.[5]
The replay was played on 7 October at the neutral Robbsland Park (the ground of Ayr Thistle F.C.) and lasted only an hour, St Andrew's winning 1–0.[6]
In the second round, the club was drawn to play at the Portland club, on the latter's ground at Nursery Park, on Holehouse Road. The home side won 2–0 in a "one-sided game".[7]
The club played matches regularly until the end of the season, the final one advertised being against Rosevale of Strathbungo on 14 April 1877,[8] but the club appears to have wound up before the start of the 1877–78 season, as it scratched from its first round Scottish Cup tie with Ayr Thistle,[9] and did not enter the new Ayrshire Cup.

The club's colours were black and red hoops.[10]
The club probably started out playing on public parks, but it had a new ground at Holehouse Road for the 1875–76 season, opening it with a match against a Kilmarnock F.C. scratch XI.[11] It moved to Grange Park in time for its Cup tie with Ayr Eglinton.[12]
