The Tarneit Football Club is an Australian rules football club, based in the western Melbourne suburb of Tarneit, which have competed in the Western Region Football League (WRFL) since 2014. Operating out of Wootten Road Reserve in Tarneit, the Tarneit Football Club's vision is 'to be the community club; the place where the community come to join our ongoing pursuit of excellence, unity and success.' As of the 2019 season, Tarneit is represented by seven junior teams, ranging from under 10s to under 16s; a senior women's team; and senior men's and reserves teams.
