FV Weinheim was a German association football club from the city of Weinheim, Baden-Württemberg. Established in 1909, the team was active until declaring bankruptcy in 1997. The footballers of FV left to become part of TSG Weinheim with the combined side still active as of 2011, playing as TSG 62/09 Weinheim.
The club's most notable moment came on 4 August 1990, when the amateur side beat FC Bayern Munich 1–0 in the first round of the German Cup in Weinheim in front of 8,000 spectators. It was the first time since Bayern's debut in the German Cup in 1957 that the club had been knocked out in the opening round of the competition, and was promptly repeated the following year against FC Homburg.
The club first came to note in the early 1930s and in 1933 missed an opportunity to advance to first division Gauliga Baden when they were beaten in a playoff by MFC 08 Lindenhof.
Following World War II, FV were part of lower tier competition until advancing in 1951 to the Amateurliga Nordbaden (III) where they played only a single season before being sent down on goal difference. They won their way back to the Amateurliga in 1954, where they spent five seasons. FV again returned to the Amateurliga in 1962 and captured the division title that year to begin the most successful period in the club's history. They repeated as champions in 1970 and narrowly missed advancing to the Regionalliga Süd (II) when they finished second in their playoff group.
In 1972, they took part in the opening round of the German amateur championship, but were put out in the first round by Normannia Gmünd. The team made their first appearance in play for the DFB Pokal (German Cup) in 1974 losing 2:4 in extra time to second division side Bayer 05 Uerdingen. The following season they were resoundingly beaten by Hertha Berlin 1:7 in the opening round of the competition.
