The Footscray Tech Old Boys (FTOB), also known simply as Footscray, was an Australian rules football club based in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray. The club was formed by former students of Footscray Technical School (FTS).
Footscray Tech competed in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) for most of its existence. The club disbanded in 1992 when Footscray IT merged into the Victoria University of Technology (VUT), with a VUT club competing in the VAFA for several years before it folded at the end of 1996.
The successor university to Footscray IT, Victoria University (VU), is currently represented in the VAFA by the UHS-VU Football Club.
