Club Atlético Talleres, usually called Talleres de Remedios de Escalada or simply Talleres, is an Argentine sports club sited in the Remedios de Escalada district of Lanús Partido, Greater Buenos Aires. The club is mostly known for its football team, which currently plays in the Primera B Metropolitana, the regionalised third division of the Argentine football league system.
Apart from football, a wide range of sports are practised at the club. Some of them are athletics, tennis, basketball, futsal, volleyball, handball, gymnastics, roller skating, table tennis, boxing, taekwondo, among others.
The club was founded on 1 June 1906 with the name "Talleres United Football Club", being formed by the joining of two teams, Los Talleres and General Paz. The selection of the name followed an Argentine tradition of giving football teams English names, such as Boca Juniors, River Plate, All Boys, Newell's Old Boys, Racing Club, Chacarita Juniors, Argentinos Juniors and Chaco For Ever, among others.
