The Perth Football Club, nicknamed the Demons, is an Australian rules football club based in Lathlain, Western Australia, currently playing in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) and WAFL Women's (WAFLW).
Representing the south-east area of the Perth metropolitan region, the club currently trains and plays its home games at Lathlain Park (currently known, for sponsorship reasons, as Mineral Resources Park), having previously played at the WACA Ground between 1899 and 1958 and later in 1987 and 1988.
The club was founded in 1899 and began play in the First Rate Junior Association, but was promoted to the WAFL after eight games to replace the Rovers Football Club after they dropped out of the league and folded, with Perth drawing much of its inaugural WAFL squad from Rovers. Perth won its first premiership in 1907, but did not win their second until 1955. Overall, the club has won seven premierships, including a hat-trick between 1966 and 1968, with the last coming in 1977. Perth is statistically one of the least successful teams in the competition, and has not played in a grand final since 1978. The club have also endured lengthy finals droughts from 1986 to 1997, and again between from 1997 to 2020. In 2025, Perth broke their 28 year finals win drought dating back to 1997, defeating East Fremantle 106-77.
The current coach of the club is Mark Stone, who took over from Peter German prior to the 2024 WAFL season. The club have fielded a senior women's team in the WAFLW competition since 2025, being the last WAFL club to do so.
