Koninklijke Sporting Club Lokeren, commonly referred to as KSC Lokeren, Sporting Lokeren or simply Lokeren, is a Belgian professional football club based in Lokeren, East Flanders. The team competes in the Challenger Pro League, the second tier of the Belgian football league system.

The club was formed in 2020 through a merger between K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen, which had declared bankruptcy earlier that year, and K.S.V. Temse, a lower-league side founded in 1945 in the neighbouring town of Temse. Initially named K.S.C. Lokeren-Temse, the club changed its name to K.S.C. Lokeren in 2025. Lokeren play their home matches at the Daknamstadion, the historic ground of the former Lokeren club, and wear white and black as their traditional colours.
