FC Emmen is a Netherlands football (soccer) club, playing in the country's Eerste Divisie

Emmen was formed on August 21, 1925. When the Dutch professional league was formed in 1954, FC Emmen decided to remain an amateur club. In 1985, FC Emmen finally joined the professional ranks. The amateur section of Emmen retained the name FC Emmen, but the professional section used the name BVO Emmen ( Betaald Voetbal Organisatie, professional football organisation). In 2005, Emmen decided to return to the name FC Emmen, for two reasons. Firstly, it was hoped that the new name would better reflect Emmen's history, and secondly because many misunderstandings had arisen, among people who had grown to believe that BVO was an abbreviation similar to for instance PSV Eindhoven, RBC Roosendaal or ADO Den Haag.

FC Emmen has reached the Eerste Divisie play-offs eight times, but never managed to clinch promotion to the Eredivisie.

FC Emmen's Univé Stadion, more popularly known as De Meerdijk, was the scene of several matches of the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.
