Società Sportiva Chieti Calcio is an Italian association football club, based in Chieti, Abruzzo. Currently it plays in Serie D.

Chieti was founded in 1922 as Calcio Chieti with a capital of 50 cents. The First World War had just ended, the football came from the distant echo of the successes of Pro Vercelli, Novese, Milan, Inter, Juventus, Genoa and so on. One day in the Villa Comunale, Nicola De Cesare tossed with some friends, the idea of forming a football team. It joined other people with the sum of £0.50 was paid the dues and was born RISS. The RISS played in the first few games against teams in the central Civitella military. The enthusiasm for sport was rising huge. Existed in the same year the Sport Club Chieti, who for many years not doing any sport, it was decided therefore to a large rise in Chieti association football. There was a meeting between the RISS, Novell and Sport Cub Chieti and Chieti was formed with the U. S. President Carlo Massangioli.

Chieti played 2005/2006 in Serie C1/B, ending last-placed and being therefore relegated to Serie C2 for the next season. The team was however cancelled by the federation because of financial troubles.

A new club, named A.S.D. Chieti, asked to be admitted to play Promozione (7th level of Italian football), claiming Article 52 of N.O.I.F.. Chieti gained promotion to Serie D in 2008. Since 2010–11 season, S.S. Chieti Calcio plays in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

In 2012–13, the team was playing at the fourth tier of Italian football, managing to get to the promotion playoffs, after securing a draw in the last matchday against Arzanese. The goalscorer that sealed the qualification of the team to the playoffs was Massimiliano Barbone, a defender on loan from Serie B club Pescara.
