Hanoi Football Club (Vietnamese: Câu lạc bộ bóng đá Hà Nội) was a Vietnamese football club based in the capital Hanoi.

Hanoi's history can be traced back to the Railway Authority football club (Vietnamese: Tổng cục Đường sắt), one of the most prominent clubs in Vietnam from their foundation in 1956 until 2000. After that, the team merged with Cong An Ha Noi to become the Hanoi ACB team in 2001. In 2008, Hanoi ACB won the Vietnamese National Cup and went on to play in the 2009 AFC Cup. Two years after being relegated from the V-League in 2011, they merged with Hòa Phát Hà Nội to become the new Hanoi 1956 FC.
