Kelty Hearts Football Club are a football club based in the village of Kelty in Fife, Scotland.

For the 2018–19 season Kelty Hearts will compete in the Lowland League, the fifth tier of the Scottish football league system, having been promoted from the East of Scotland Football League. The club were previously members of the Fife Junior League and the SJFA East Superleague, which is the highest division of the East Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association.

In December 2017 the club became a full SFA member, making them eligible to enter the Scottish Cup and move up through the senior divisions.
