Panamá Viejo F.C. was a Panamanian football team founded in 1978 and based in Panamá Viejo, Panama.

During its run in the ANAPROF (now Liga Panameña de Fútbol), the Cangrejeros were crowned champions during the 2000–01 season before succumbing to financial problems at the end of 2001.

Founded in 1978, Panamá Viejo participated in numerous of the ANAPROF before winning the title in the 2000–01 season. They defeated Tauro in the final game in what is remembered by many as one of the best ANAPROF finals in the history of the tournament. The game ended 4–3 after extra time after Tauro managed to equalize on Panamá Viejo's 3–0 advantage.

Part of that ANAPROF 2000-01 champion team included Panamanian internationals such as Anel Canales, Víctor Herrera, Blas Pérez, Juan de Dios Pérez, Óscar McFarlane and Ricardo Phillips and former Panama national football senior and U-20 team manager Gary Stempel.

Unfortunately for the Cangrejeros, in 2001 they suffered financial problems and they were forced to merged with Tauro whereby they ceased to exist.
