Knickerbocker Field Club is a historic tennis association located in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, New York. It was founded in 1889,^[2] and continues to operate to this day.^[3]

Its historic tennis clubhouse was built in 1892 and was the sole surviving building associated with the Tennis Court development^[4] until 1988, when it was partially destroyed by fire.^[5] It was razed in 1992 with the approval of the Landmark Preservation Commission due to lack of funds for restoration.^[6] It was a long, two story Colonial Revival style building sheathed in clapboard and shingles. It had a gambrel roof and featured a deep porch supported by Doric order columns.^[7] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.^[1] A replacement clubhouse was built after.
