The Lilydale Football Club is an Australian rules football club located in the outer eastern Melbourne suburb of Lilydale. Known as the "Falcons", the club fields both senior and junior teams in the Eastern Football League.

In 2006, The Falcons made it to the division one finals for the time in its history. They also backed that up the following year. However in both years they were knocked out in the first game against East Ringwood and EFL newcomers, Balwyn.
