SV Norden-Nordwest is a German football club from Berlin. It was established as Berliner Fußball Club des Nordens on 16 October 1898 and in 1906 merged with Berliner Fußball Club Norden-West, also established in 1898, to play as FC Norden-Nordwest Berlin. The combined side immediately claimed the title in the Märkischer Fußball-Bund (MFB), an early Berlin-based circuit, before going out 1:9 to VfB Leipzig in the quarterfinals of the national championship. As FC des Norden the club had previously earned second place MFB finishes in 1903 and 1905.
In 1907, a subsequent merger with Sportliche Verbindung Teutonia 1903 Schönholz formed Sportliche Verbindung Norden-Nordwest Berlin. This side again captured the Märkischer Fußball-Bund title in 1908 before losing a citywide final to Viktoria 89 Berlin (3–4). The team remained competitive through to the end of the decade before becoming part of the Oberliga Berlin in 1911. They found themselves overmatched there and slipped into second tier play.
Norden-Nordwest returned to upper level play in 1917 and in 1922 finished first in the Oberliga – Staffel A. They won the division title by beating Union-SC Charlottenburg (4–2, 1–0) and advanced to the national playoffs. After a 1–0 quarterfinal victory over Viktoria Forst, they went out in the semifinal to 1. FC Nuremberg by the same score.
On 6 April 1922, the club took on the name Sportverein Norden-Nordwest Berlin and remained a fixture in the Oberliga Berlin-Brandenburg (I) throughout the 1920s and into the early 1930s. They enjoyed their greatest successes during this period. They finished first in Berlin's Staffel A again in 1924, but lost the overall division title to Alemannia 90 Berlin (1–3, 2–2). Two seasons later, they finished first in Staffel B and this time were beaten in the division final by Hertha BSC (0–7, 1–2). Despite that loss they took part in the national playoffs where they beat VfR Köln 2–1 in an eighthfinal matchup before losing 0–4 to Holstein Kiel in a quarterfinal contest. In addition to their appearances on the national stage SV twice captured the Berliner Landespokal (Berlin Cup).
