Majlis Perbandaran Muar Football Club or MP Muar is a Malaysian football club based in Muar, Johor. The club home ground is the Sultan Ibrahim Mini Stadium in Muar. The club formerly played in the Malaysia Premier League, the second tier of the Malaysian League from 2010 to 2012. Under new direction of Johor Football Association (JFA), all clubs from Johor including MP Muar has pulled from Malaysian League at the end of 2012 season and later joining State League, the PBNJ State League.

For the 2011 Malaysia Premier League season, the club has been using the JCorp Stadium in Pasir Gudang, Johor Bahru as their home ground. The club returned to Sultan Ibrahim Mini Stadium as their home ground for the 2012 Malaysia Premier League.
At the end of 2012 league season, MP Muar finished in ninth place and had to play relegation play-off match with Betaria, the tenth place team. Although MP Muar won the match 3-0, the team later decided to pull out of the league after the re-structuring plan by JFA, along with another club from Johor, MBJB.
In 2012, HRH Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, the JFA's Royal Patron, announced that JFA will take over all football clubs and associations in the state of Johor which compete in any football cup competitions in Malaysia. Hence, MP Muar technically closed by Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and withdrew from 2012 Malaysia Premier League. All selected players and managers was then transferred to JFA under a club Johor Darul Ta'zim based on ability and experiences.
