Peterborough Orfuns was a Canadian football team in Ontario Rugby Football Union. The team played in the 1938 and 1939 seasons. Though often mistakenly called "Orphans", their name is actually a play on their league name: O R F Uns. Later the team would continue on as an Intermediate (the league between Senior ORFU and Junior football) competitor, finishing in the national championships 3 times: 1952 (losing 31–18 to the Norwood/St. Boniface Legionaries of Manitoba), 1954 (losing 16–12 to the Winnipeg Rams) and 1955 (National Champions.)
