Sài Gòn Football Club (Vietnamese: Câu lạc bộ Bóng đá Sài Gòn) is a Vietnamese football club based in Ho Chi Minh City and owned by Saigon Football Development Joint Stock Company. The club plays in the V.League 1. The club was founded in 2011 as Hà Nội F.C. and relocated in 2016 to Ho Chi Minh City.
The team plays at Thong Nhat Stadium.
The club was founded in 2011 as the youth squad for V.League 1 side Hà Nội T&T. Under the parent club, Hà Nội FC was not allowed to be promoted to the V.League 1 following the 2012 season when the club finished second, due to league rules that clubs owned by the same parent company cannot play in the same league.
Following the 2013 season, Hà Nội T&T sold the club to Quang Huy Plastics Joint Stock Company. Though the club is no longer owned by Hà Nội T&T, the partnership between the clubs remains the same, with the V.League 1 club loaning many of their youth players to the club.
In April 2016, the club renamed Sài Gòn F.C. and relocated to Ho Chi Minh City.
