FC Bruno's Magpies is a football team from Gibraltar. They play in the Gibraltar Second Division and the Rock Cup.[1] They are the first and remain the only club in Gibraltar to have a matchday programme. The club sponsor is Chestertons (Gibraltar's largest real estate agent) who treat the regular fans to beers and burgers at half time.

The club was formed in 2013, initially as a group of friends who drank at the Bruno's Bar & Restaurant (A bar in Gibraltar).

With the introduction of Chestertons as the sponsor in 2015/16, the intent grew more serious. The club finished fourth in that season and were the runners-up in the Second Division Cup, losing in extra time to Europa Point FC.

In the current season, the club appointed Davie Wilson as manager, who has previously managed the Gibraltar national side. As at November 2016, the club is unbeaten and top of the table.
