TSC Eintracht 1848/1895 Dortmund is a German sports club from the city of Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia. The club was formed on 9 July 1969 through the merger of Turn- und Sportverein Eintracht 1848 Dortmund and football side Dortmunder Sports Club 1895.

With over 5,500 members the current day association is the largest sports club in the city. In addition to football, the largest of its 27 sports departments are gymnastics, fitness, and field hockey. Other sections within the association include badminton, basketball, fencing, Judo, canoeing, Karate, athletics, rhythmic gymnastics, table tennis, and volleyball.

The club has its origins as the gymnastics club Turnverein Eintracht Dortmund, founded on 15 July 1848, which grew into a broadly based sports association in the interwar period.

Future merger partner Dortmunder SC 1895 established a field hockey section in 1921 which left to join Dortmunder Tennis Club 1898 to create Dortmunder Tennis und Hockey Club, known today as Dortmunder Tennis Klub Rot-Weiss 98. A field hockey section was formed within TVE in 1926 and has played as Dortmunder Hockey-Club der Eintracht since 1954.

Through the late 50s and into the mid 60s the club supported an ice hockey section that played in first and second level competition. In 1965 the section withdrew from the association to become part of Eishockey Club Westphalia Dortmund.

Predecessor side Dortmunder SC 1895 was established on 10 May 1895 as Dortmunder Fussball Club 1895 and is recognized as the city's oldest football club. The team folded in 1897, but was re-formed on 27 October 1899. It was joined by Fussball Club Union Dortmund in 1910 and on 13 July 1913 merged with Ballspielverein 1904 Dortmund to become Sportvereinigung Dortmund 1895 before first adopting the name Dortmunder Sport Club 1895 in 1919. This combined side made an appearance in the top flight regional playoff round in 1920–21.
