Qingdao Red Lions Football Club is a football club and academy from Qingdao in Shandong province, China. The club has its home base in the Laoshan district of the city.

The first team is coached by Gert Heerkes, former manager of Heracles Almelo. Former notable players include David Löfquist,Kwame Quansah and Milan Perić.

Qingdao Red Lions was established in early 2016 by its founding members Bruno Marveggio, Rob van Eck and Piet van der Pol. The club aims to contribute to the development of Chinese football, both on youth level as in competitive league football.

The club badge consists of a shield containing a lion's head—a symbol for strength—and Wuyue Feng (May Wind), the iconic monument on Qingdao's May Fourth Square.

The 2017 home and away kit for Qingdao Red Lions are designed and manufactured by Guangzhou based sports clothing company UCANSport.
