Atlante Fútbol Club, is a professional football club based in Mexico City, that competes in the Liga de Expansión MX, the second level division of Mexican football. Founded in 1916 as Sinaloa, also later named as Lusitania, then as U-53 (honoring a German submarine), and Atlántico (related with the Atlantic Ocean), which due to colloquial use, changed to its current name in 1921. In 1943, Atlante was one of the original members of the Liga Mayor (currently Liga MX).

Atlante has won three national league championships, two from their original home in Mexico City, and the most recent following their 2007 relocation to Cancún before eventually returning to Mexico City. They are also three-time winners of the Copa México, and twice winners of the CONCACAF Champions Cup/Champions League.

They won the Apertura 2021 and Apertura 2022.
