Kallithea F.C. (Greek: Γ.Σ. Καλλιθέα) is a Greek professional football club based in Kallithea, currently competing in the Football League (see Greek football league system).
The club's full name is Gymnastikos Syllogos Kallithea (Greek: Γυμναστικός Σύλλογος Καλλιθέα), meaning Gymnastic Club of Kallithea, which is shortened to G.S. Kallithea (Greek: Γ.Σ. Καλλιθέα).
The club was founded on 18 August 1966, from the merger of five local clubs: Esperos, Iraklis, AE Kallitheas, Kallithaikos, and Pyrsos.
The five stars in Kallithea's club logo represent the five founding clubs.
Kallithea's first season of competitive football was in 1966–67 in the third tier of Greek football. In 1969, the club earned promotion to the second division, for the first time.
In 2002 Kallithea achieved promotion to top flight, for the first time. The first match there in the club's history was a 1–0 loss to Olympiacos at Georgios Kamaras Stadium, on 25 August 2002. The club's first win in the competition came on 14 September, a 3–2 upset of PAOK F.C. at Toumba Stadium, thanks to two goals from Theofanis Gekas.
After a 9th-place finish in 2004–05, Kallithea was relegated back the following season. In 2006–07 and 2007–08, the club finished 7th and 6th in the second level, respectively.
