The University of Queensland Australian Football Club (UQAFC) is an amateur Australian rules football club playing in the QFA Division 1 and Division 3 Brisbane North competitions, as well as the QAFLW, which are overseen by AFL Queensland. UQAFC home games are played at the University of Queensland's Playing Field 2, on the corner of Sir William MacGregor Drive and Thynne Road, St Lucia, Brisbane.

The UQAFC Men's Seniors team has won seven premierships, with their most successful period coming between 1959 and 1966, wherein they won six premierships in eight seasons in the second tier of the QANFL/QAFL, this included a "threepeat" in 1964, 1965 & 1966. They added to their premiership tally with an SQAFA Second Division flag in 1984, with their Reserves team also winning that season's flag. Their Reserves side has claimed nine premierships, and enjoyed periods of sustained success in the 1980s and the new millennium.

The club has also fielded Thirds and Fourths teams in the 21st century. The Thirds were founded in 2006 and became UQAFC's designated Friday night side in 2015; winning their maiden premiership in 2024 after 19 seasons. The Fourths won three consecutive premierships in their six years of existence between 2009 and 2014. UQAFC's women's side was established in 2013 and competed in the SEQAFLW before moving to the newly established QWAFL the following year. The Red Lionesses won back-to-back senior premierships in 2021 and 2022.
