The Law R.F.C. was a 19th-century football club that fielded teams playing by rugby football codes. It is notable for being one of the twenty-one founding members of the game of Rugby Football and for producing in a very short life span, a number of international players.

The Law was established in 1870 as a closed club for members of the legal profession. Presumably because of the demands of their profession, the club could only play on Wednesdays. The club was also nomadic, and so despite having a secretary based at Lincoln's Inn Fields, the club effectively played only away matches. The teams colours were Black with a red cross on the breast.
