CS Luceafărul Oradea is a Romanian professional football club from Oradea, Bihor County, founded in 2001. The team currently plays in Liga II.

Founded in 2001, at the initiative of several parents whose children had no future at FC Bihor, Luceafărul was grown by the former Prefect of Bihor County, Gavrilă Ghilea, former boss of FC Bihor. The Oradea team grew step by step, and from the training of children they have now reached a professional status. Four seasons ago Luceafărul merged with Lotus Băile Felix and after a perfect season, they managed to promote to the Liga II. The miracle did not last long, because the lack of money lead to the withdrawal of the team from the championship.

Started in the 2007–08 season with head coach Lucian Ciscan, Luceafărul Lotus Băile Felix had earned the promotion to the Liga II at the end of the season, but they announced their withdrawal due to financial reasons. A group of businessmen from Bacău decided to form a new team to occupy the vacant spot. Thus, Ştiinţa Bacău was born.

In February 2009 business man Giani Nedelcu joined with Mircea Crainiciuc and refunded back the club dissolved last summer, Luceafărul Lotus Băile Felix, and took Ştiinţa's place in the championship. But until the end of the season, they continued to play under the name of Ştiinţa Bacău.

On June 3, Mircea Crainiciuc announced that the club withdrew from the championship because of financial reasons. They will lose their remaining 3 matches from the Liga II 2008-09 season with 3–0 and will be relegated to the Liga III. But we will have to see if Luceafărul Lotus will start in the championship next season, if not, this means the club's 2nd dissolution in less than a year.
