Nogometni Klub Serdica (English: Serdica Football Club), commonly referred to as NK Serdica or simply Serdica, is a Slovenian football club, which plays in the village of Serdica. Their colours are black and white. They currently play in the 1. MNL, the fourth tier of the Slovenian football pyramid. The club was founded in 1974. Their home ground is Stadion ob Ledavi. They are currently named Serdica Kleparstvo Šinko due to sponsorship reasons.
The club has built a rivalry with NK Goričanka from Rogašovci mainly due to close proximity to the town Serdica. Matches between the two teams are known as the "Goričko derby".
Approximetly 40 people got together on 21 April 1974 to establish a football club in Serdica. That day the first club president was elected Karel Horvat, who is still the president of the club today.
The club's best achievement in the Slovenian Football Cup are two appearances in the first round, first in the 1994–95 season when they were defeated at home by NK Mura with the score of 1–9 infront of more than 1,000 spectators watching the match which is also the clubs highest home attendance. In the 1997–98 season they were eliminated in the first round away at Triglav Kranj with a 8–0 defeat. Serdica lost to Mura 05 in the MNZ Murska Sobota Cup final but still qualified for the preliminary round of the 2009–10 Slovenian Cup where they were defeated 8–4 by Železničar Maribor.
They competed in the 1. MNL for most of their early years. They finished fifth consecutively in the 2002–03 and the 2003–04 seasons. The 2004–05 season was one of the best in the club's history as they were in the title race before finishing third. They finished fifth again in the 2005–06 season.
