Fotbal Club Olt Scornicești (Romanian pronunciation: [olt skorniˈt͡ʃeʃtʲ]), commonly known as FC Olt Scornicești, Olt Scornicești or simply as FC Olt, is a Romanian football club based in Scornicești, Olt County, currently playing in Liga IV – Olt County.
Founded in 1972 under the name Viitorul Scornicești, the team quickly became one of the best teams from a rural area, achieving successive promotions through all divisions with political support. Their best finish was 4th place in Divizia A during the 1981–82 season.
The club represented the home village of former dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu and arguably receiving "extra help" to reach the top division and avoid relegation. After the fall of the communist regime, the club lost its main backing and was excluded from Divizia A by the Romanian Football Federation, alongside Victoria București, and struggled to stay solvent in the following years.
