Nanking Football Club (simplified Chinese: 南京足球俱乐部; traditional Chinese: 南京足球俱樂部; Mandarin Pinyin: Nánjīng Zúqiú Jùlèbù) is a defunct amateur Chinese football club that predominantly competed in the former capital of China Nanjing (currently the capital of Jiangsu in eastern China) from 1930 until 1937–1938. The name was reused in 2016 by Merim Brkić who started the new Nanjing F.C. and adopted the same values as the original club. It has been frequently referred as Nanjing Football Club after the pinyin language reform, when Nanjing was gradually adopted as the standard spelling of the city's name in most languages that use the Roman alphabet.
