The Carlton Imperial Football Club was a 19th-century Australian rules football club that played in the later stages of the 'unaffiliated era' of Victorian football, but had dissolved prior to the commencement of the Victorian Football Association's (VFA) first season of 1877. The 'Imperials' played its home matches out of Royal Park, and were winners of the 1875 Challenge Cup.
The club is mostly known today as the former "training establishment" of the senior AFL club Carlton, though there was no official affiliation and that there were also players who would later have success with South Melbourne and South Australian Football Association (SAFA) club, Norwood.
