FC Tver (Russian: ФК «Тверь») is an association football club from Tver, Russia, firstly founded in 1908 as FC Volga Tver. It has played professionally in 1937, 1949, 1953 to 1956, 1958 to 1999, 2004 to 2017, and from 2020 to 2023. In 1992–1995, the club was called Trion-Volga Tver.

It played on the second-highest level (Soviet First League and Russian First Division) in 1957 to 1962, 1964 to 1969 and 1992. Another Tver team, Spartak Tver, existed from 1937 to 1957 and played in the Soviet First League in 1949 and from 1953 to 1956.

The club was dissolved at the end of the 2016–17 season due to lack of financing.[1]

In April 2020, the club was reestablished as professional football club named FC Tver, with financial support from Tver Oblast, and FC Arsenal Tula.[2][3][4] It was licensed for the Russian Professional Football League for 2020–21 season.

On 29 February 2024, Tver was denied the license for the 2024 Russian Second League season.[5] The club was returned to the league after appeal.[6][7]
