A.C.D. Nardò (usually referred to as simply Nardò) is an Italian association football club, based in Nardò, Apulia. It currently plays in Eccellenza.
The club was founded in 1925 as U.S. Neritina.
It has a quite glorious past, with three seasons in the Italian Serie C, the former 3rd level of Italian football, between the 60s and the 70s and having won 3 Coppe Italia Regionali and 1 Coppa Italia di Serie D.
From the 1998–99 to the 2001–02 season it has played in Serie C2.
On 6 November 2013 after renouncing to play four games in Serie D Nardò was removed by LND.
Before the 2014–15 season the club bought the sporting rights of ASD Copertino (from Copertino), establishing ACD Nardò. It was subsequently admitted to Eccellenza Pugliese.
The official color of the team is amaranth.
