Lanús Athletic Club was an Argentine sports club located in the Remedios de Escalada district of Lanús Partido, established by employees of railway company Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway.

While initially established as a cricket club, Lanús later added a football team. That squad competed officially during the first years of football in Argentina, playing in the top division, Primera División, from 1897 to 1899, and then returning in 1913 before being dissolved in 1914.

Along with other clubs that practised football in Lanús Partido (such as Lanús United and Talleres de Remedios de Escalada), Lanús A.C. is considered a predecessor (but not related to) of Club Atlético Lanús, founded in 1915.
