Rotherham United FC is een Engelse voetbalclub, opgericht in 1925 en uitkomend in de EFL League One. De club speelt zijn thuiswedstrijden in het New York Stadium.
Rotherham United ontstond in 1925 door de fusie van Rotherham FC en Thornhill. Rotherham FC werd in 1870 opgericht en veranderde later zijn naam in Rotherham Town. Thornhill werd in 1897 opgericht, in 1919 werd de club toegelaten tot de Football League en noemde zich dan Rotherham County.

Na seizoen 2006/07 zakte de club nog verder weg naar de League Two. In het seizoen 2012/13 promoveerden ze naar de League One en een jaar later promoveerden ze nog een keer, terug naar de Championship. Sindsdien degradeerde de club in 2017, 2019 en 2021 om steeds na een seizoen terug te keren. Ook in 2024 degradeerde Rotherham naar de League One.
In 1961 speelde Rotherham in de eerste League Cup-finale, maar de club verloor in de eindstrijd van Aston Villa FC.
