FC Imabari is a Japanese football club based in Imabari city, Ehime Prefecture. They play in the Japan Football League.
The club was founded in 1976 and was promoted to the Shikoku Football League in 2001.
From 2009 to 2011 they were owned by Ehime F.C. as their reserve team, Ehime F.C. Shimanami. After spinning off yet again, the majority of FC Imabari was bought by former coach of Japan Takeshi Okada in 2014.
In February 2016, the club made another step forward to J. League, since JFA recognised as J. League Hundred Year Vision clubs. In November they won the Regional Promotion Series and were promoted to the Japan Football League.
