The ACCD Mineros de Guayana, usually known as Mineros de Guayana or simply Mineros, is a Venezuelan football (soccer) club based in Puerto Ordaz.

The Colegio Loyola Gumilla's field, located in Puerto Ordaz, was used in football matches. The people who played at the field decided to found a football club. On November 11, 1981, the club was founded as Club Deportivo Mineros de Guayana.

On November 20, 1981, the club's foundation constitutive act was signed.
