Orion Football Club were a Scottish football team who played in the city of Aberdeen between 1885 and 1903. They were one of the three clubs who merged on 14 April 1903 to form the current Aberdeen F.C.; the other two being Aberdeen and Victoria United.
Orion won two Northern League championships, in 1897 and 1899.
They also won the Rhodesia Cup, 1898–99 (contested between the three senior Aberdeen clubs: Aberdeen, Orion and Victoria United).
In 1885, Bon Accord were mistakenly invited to compete in the Scottish Cup instead of Orion, and went on to lose 36–0, a world record football score.
