Perak The Bos Gaurus Football Club or Perak TBG is a professional football club based in Ipoh City that competes in Malaysia Super League. Founded in 1921, the club's home ground since then has been Perak Stadium in Ipoh, Perak. The club represents the state of Perak in Malaysian football competitions. They currently play in the top division in Malaysian football, the Malaysia Super League and has never been relegated since the introduction of football league in Malaysia.

The club was formerly named simply as Perak or fully as Perak Amateur FA (PAFA) before being rebranded as Perak FA and again in February 2016 as Perak The Bos Gaurus which will be used for 2016 season onwards.

The club's current nickname is Seladang which is the Malay name for Gaur and has been the club official mascot for years.

Perak TBG's regular kit colours are yellow and black or white for shirts, shorts and socks. The club's current crest has been used since February 2016 which was introduced to replace the previous season crest.

Football has been played in Malaya for a long years. Perak has sent a football team to play in Malaya Cup since its inaugural season in 1921. They were also one of the founding members of the Malayan Football Association (the predecessor of the modern Football Association of Malaysia) which happened in 1926.

However, only on 18 April 1951, the team has been officially registered and now managed by the newly formed governance body of Perak football, the Perak Amateur Football Association (PAFA). Since then, the football team has been competing in Malaya Cup consistently.
