The West Coast Eagles Football Club is an Australian Rules Football club that is a member of the Australian Football League.

The club is based at Subiaco Oval in Perth, Western Australia and was formed when the AFL (then the Victorian Football League) decided to include a team from Western Australia in August 1986.
