Blackburn Rovers was a professional football club from East London, Eastern Cape, South Africa. The club played their home games at the Buffalo City Stadium.

The team last competed in the 2013-14 season of the National First Division, the second tier of the South African football league pyramid. The club was relegated at the end of the season to the Eastern Cape provincial division of the SAFA Second Division, after finishing bottom of the league. It wouldn't, however, go on to compete in the league following its disqualification.

Very little information exists regarding the circumstances of the club's sudden exit from football in South Africa, with the club's account on social networking platform Twitter being the only remaining trace, from the club itself, to exist.
