Fotbal Club Universitatea Cluj (Romanian pronunciation: ), or simply as "U" Cluj, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Cluj County. Founded in 1919 by Iuliu Hațieganu, the team currently plays in the Liga II, the second tier of the Romanian football league system. Universitatea Cluj spent most of their history in the first division, but never became national champions.

They played five Romanian Cup finals, under four different names, and won the trophy in the 1964–65 season. They were considered to be the important in the region of Transylvania, however this status has recently been threatened by the success of their city rivals CFR Cluj. Its players and fans are nicknamed Șepcile roșii ("The Red Caps"), because of the red berets worn by students of the Cluj University of Medicine.

Universitatea Cluj traditionally plays in white and black kits, although variations of red, maroon and gold have been used in the past. The club's home ground is the Cluj Arena.
