The Metropolitan Football Club was an West Australian Football League club based in Perth, Western Australia. The club was formed in 1888 after merging the and West Australian Football Club at the end of the 1888 season.

In April 1889, a meeting of the West Australian and Victorian Football Clubs was held at the Criterion Hotel, in which it was unanimously decided to amalgamate the two clubs into a single club known as the Metropolitan Football Club, which has survived until the present day as the West Perth Football Club. The West Australians' captain, F. McDonough, remained captain of the combined club, while West Australians' club colours of red and black were maintained for the merged club.
