Deportivo Rayo Cantabria is a Spanish football team based in Santander, in the autonomous community of Cantabria. Founded in 1993 it currently plays in Tercera División – Group 3, holding home games at the Campo Municipal Mies de Cozada sports ground, which they share with a Segunda Regional football side (Juventud Atlético San Román) and a División de Honor rugby club (Independiente Rugby Club). Before they played at the Campos de San Juan de Monte.
Rayo Cantabria was founded in 1926 as Rayo Sport de Miranda, later being renamed Sociedad Deportiva Rayo Cantabria and going on to play almost exclusively in the fourth division – it competed one season in the third.
For several campaigns, the club acted as Racing de Santander's farm team. In 1993 it was dissolved, and Racing de Santander B took its place. The new Rayo Cantabria, who started playing as an independent club in the regional leagues, was also affiliated to Racing four seasons, from 2003-04 to 2006-07.
