Stonehouse Violet Football Club were a Scottish football club, based in Stonehouse, South Lanarkshire near East Kilbride. The last incarnation of the club formed in 1966 as Stonehouse Thistle, changing their name to Violet in 1969. A previous Stonehouse Violet club had played at Loch Park in the town from 1924 until 1961. Members of the Scottish Junior Football Association, they competed in the Lanarkshire Junior League and latterly in the SJFA West Region. The club were based at Tilework Park and wore blue, orange and white strips (uniforms). Violet were runners-up in the 197778 Scottish Junior Cup.

They were forced to withdraw from league competition in December 2008 due to financial difficulties,[1] but retained non-playing membership of the SJFA and rejoined Central Division Two for the start of season 2010-11. The club however folded again on 11 January 2012, citing lack of local support.[2]
