Exmouth Town F. C. are a football club, from Exmouth, Devon, England who play in the Devon and Exeter Football League. They had started the 2005-06 season in the Western League, but financial problems led to their withdrawal bringing a 33-year association with the league to an end.
The club was formed in 1933 and played their first forty years of existence in local football, primarily in the Devon & Exeter League. They joined the Western League in 1973, and won the league title twice, in the 1983-84 and 1985-86. The club play their home matches at their Southern Road Ground. The club is nicknamed "The Town".
The highlight of the club's existence was the 1984-85 season, when they went all the way to the F.A. Vase semi-finals. There were high hopes of a place in the final at Wembley Stadium, but Fleetwood Town were just too strong over the two legs, the Lancashire side winning 4-3 on aggregate.
After the demise of their Western League team in January 2006, the reserve side in the Devon & Exeter League became the first team, effectively dropping the club three levels of the National League System.
