Albion Football Club is a Uruguayan football club located in Montevideo that currently plays in the Liga AUF Uruguaya.
Founded in 1891, it is the oldest football club in Uruguay, and is considered to be the oldest because other institutions such as Montevideo Rowing Club and Montevideo Cricket Club had been founded before but they were not specifically dedicated to football.
In July 2018, Albion became a member of the Club of Pioneers, a worldwide association involving oldest football clubs in the world, as the "oldest active football club in Uruguay".
The club returned to the Primera División by winning the 2021 Segunda División championship, its first promotion to the top flight since 1908.
