Third Lanark Athletic Club was a football club that originally existed from 1872 to 1967, based in Glasgow, Scotland. Third Lanark were known as Thirds, the Warriors, the Redcoats or the Hi-Hi (the latter owing to the "Hi Hi Hi!" chant from their fans).

Originally one of the great clubs of early Scottish Football, Third Lanark were far from being the first major Scottish football club to be declared bankrupt and dissolved (former Scottish Cup winners Renton & their neighbours Vale of Leven suffered similar fates - although the latter were resurrected as a Junior side later). But their demise was considered a shock because only a few years earlier they had finished third in the championship division, scoring over 100 goals in the process.

The club were reformed as an amateur side in 1971, and currently play in Division 3 of the Greater Glasgow Amateur League.
