Balmain Australian Football Club is an Australian rules football club competing in the Sydney AFL league and based out of the Sydney suburb of Balmain.

The club recently did a deal with the Fremantle Dockers, and are now known as the Balmain Dockers. In the 2007 season, they will wear a Fremantle-style guernsey, replacing the black with a yellow sash strip that went with their previous nickname, the Tigers.

The club formed in 1903 as the Balmain Football Club, a founding member of the Sydney Football League.

Sydney Swans player Troy Luff played for Balmain after retiring from AFL football in 2002. Rugby league player Wally Messenger (the brother of Dally Messenger) played for the club in its early days.

Players to make VFL/AFL level from the Balmain Tigers over the years included John Stephenson (1907, Essendon Bombers), Charles Brown (1916-1923, Collingwood Magpies) Jack Armstrong (1925, St Kilda Saints), Neil Davies (1955, Richmond Tigers), Paul Feltham (1970-78, North Melbourne Kangaroos, Richmond Tigers) and Ray Hall (1999, Richmond Tigers).
