The SV Rödinghausen is a German association football club from the town of Rödinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The club's greatest success has been to earn promotion to the tier four Regionalliga West in 2014.
For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local football. The clubs fortunes changed in 2009 when, after having been playing in the tier nine Kreisliga A for a number of seasons the club began a series of five consecutive promotions. A Kreisliga championship in 2010 was followed by a Bezirksliga championship in 2011 and a Landesliga championship in 2012. The clubs rapid rise was made possible by the financial support of Frank Heidemann, the retired owner of a kitchen manufacturing business. Heidemann also financed the clubs new stadium which is estimated to have cost €2 million and was officially opened in 2011. The stadium was first used, then still under construction, in a league match against SC Verl but has also seen the club play friendlies against Valencia CF, Werder Bremen and Aston Villa.
In 2013 SV won the group 1 of the Westfalenliga and thereby earned direct promotion to the Oberliga Westfalen. The following season the club won promotion to the tier four Regionalliga West for the first time after finishing runners-up in the Oberliga in 2014, behind champions Arminia Bielefeld II who was ineligible for promotion.
