Corinthian-Casuals F.C. are a football club currently playing in the Isthmian League First Division South, formed in 1939 by a merger of two famous amateur clubs, Corinthians, who formed in 1882, and Casuals, who formed in 1883.

Despite an almost immediate break for World War II, in 1945 they took Casuals' place in the Isthmian League, and gradually dropped down its divisions. In 1988 the team acquired its first home ground, King George's Field in Tolworth, and on a tour of Brazil, Sócrates played a match for the club.
