Hércules is a professional football team that played in San Salvador, El Salvador. They were founded on 25 September 1904 as Club Deportivo Hercules as asporting club focused on athletics, swimming, basketball and football.

Hércules was a powerhouse during the late 1920s and early 1930s, winning titles in 1927, 1928 and in the 1929–30, 1930–31, 1931–32, 1932–33, 1933–34 seasons.
