Slezský FC Opava is a football club from Opava, Czech Republic. Currently the club plays in the third-level Moravian-Silesian Football League. They were in the Gambrinus Liga at the top tier of Czech football from 1995 to 2000, getting relegated in 2000 but returning to the top flight the following season in 2001. After another relegation they returned again in 2003 and had a two year spell in the top division but internal issues lead to a slow decline of the club and relegation to the regional division.

The club's derby is the Silesian Derby with FC Baník Ostrava.
