Åtvidabergs FF is a Swedish football club located in Åtvidaberg. The club, formed 1 July 1907 as Åtvidabergs IF, is currently playing in the second highest Swedish league, Superettan. The club changed to the present name before the 1935–36 season.

The club was at its best in the 1970s when it won two Swedish titles with the likes of Ralf Edström in the team. It played 15 seasons, last in 1982, in top of the Swedish Legaue.

They cooperate with Swedish champions Djurgårdens IF. In the autumn of 2005, a senior Djurgården official caused a stir in Åtvidaberg by suggesting that the only way ÅFF could generate enough income to become an elite team again was by moving to nearby Linköping. Linköping is the biggest city in Östergötland and lacks a premier football team.

In late 2005, Åtvidabergs FF reached the Swedish Cup final. Because the other team in the final, Djurgårdens IF, already were Swedish champions, Åtvidabergs FF got the qualifying spot for the 2006/07 season UEFA Cup, even though they lost the final 2-0. In the last qualifying round, they beat Brann from Norway. In the first round of current UEFA Cup season, they faced Grasshoppers from Switzerland. Grasshoppers beat Åtvidaberg with a total of 8 goals in two games (0-3, 5-0), thus eliminating Åtvidaberg from the cup.
