Bargod Rangers A.F.C. is a Welsh football club based in Drefach Felindre, Carmarthenshire. The team currently plays in the Ceredigion League Second Division.

The club dates back to the 1880s. They started out as a hockey team, ^[1] before switching to football in the 1900s. ^{[2] [3]} They were a founder member of the Ceredigion League in 1921, and were then known as Drefach. ^[4] The club's name was officially changed from Bargoed Rangers to Bargod Rangers in January 1975, to reflect the correct spelling of the River Bargod, which runs through the village. ^{[5] [6]}

In 1981, Bargod Rangers played a Welsh Cup second round match at home to Stourbridge, which Stourbridge won 5–0. ^[7]
