Kelab Bola Sepak Kota Ranger (English:City Ranger Football Club) is a Bruneian football club that plays in the Brunei Super League as of 2016.
One of the oldest football clubs in Brunei, Kota Ranger has been Bruneian champions at least twice (in 1987 and 1993). They also entered the Asian Champions' Cup through their 1987 championship. They came third in the first stage of the new 2002 Proton B-League Group B, but did not finish the season well. Relegated to Premier Two in 2004, they have been languishing in the second tier until they won the Brunei Premier League title in 2016 with an unbeaten season, thereby automatically sealing promotion.
Their first win 4-2 versus Jerudong FC, Kota Ranger vowed 'not to dwell on past glories' as 'the pressure is overwhelming' stated assistant coach Abang Nor Hillmy Abang Taha who assured that the league is 'tough'.Moreover, only four players remained from the 2015 championship-winning lineup. They finished the season in sixth place.
