Black Leopards are a South African football club based in Venda, Limpopo that plays in the National First Division.
The club was founded in 1983 by business people in Venda. In 1998 the club was taken over by the Thidiela family. After just two seasons of campaigning in the National First Division, Black Leopards were promoted to the elite division of the country.
Leopards were relegated to the First Division in 2008 after seven seasons in the Premiership. In 2011 Leopards returned to the PSL.
