GFK Tikveš 1930 (Macedonian: Градски Фудбалски Клуб Тиквеш 1930), commonly referred to as Tikveš, is a professional football club from Kavadarci, Republic of Macedonia, that currently competes in the Macedonian Second League.
Tikveš had won the Macedonian Republic League twice (1971–72; 1977–78), and they have competed in the Yugoslav Second League for five season (1955–56; 1968–69; 1969–70; 1972–73; 1978–79). Tikveš was a founding member of the Macedonian First League. The club's traditional colours are red and white, and they are nicknamed the Winegrowers.
Tikveš was founded on 21 December 1930 by a group of young enthusiasts who held their meeting in the Balkan restaurant in Kavadarci. Slavčo Temkov became the first president of the newly formed club, Todor Janakiev was chosen as secretary while Aleksandar Hadživasilev was the first main sponsor.
The club's early years were mostly spent playing friendly matches with other teams from Kavadarci and some neighbouring towns. At this early stage Tikveš was overshadowed by the other football clubs from Kavadarci, such as FK Zanaetčiski, FK Ljubaš, FK Jugoslavija and FK Strašo Pindžur, but after the resumption of football following World War II Tikveš were admitted into the Football League and the club established itself. In 1948–49 Tikveš achieved a 6th-place finish in the Macedonian Republic League, level on points with 5th placed FK Šar Tetovo but weaker goal difference.
