Club de Fútbol Lobos de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, simply known as Lobos BUAP or Lobos, was a Mexican professional football club based in Puebla. From 2017 to 2019, it competed in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football, and played its home matches at the Estadio Universitario BUAP. Founded in 1967 as Carolinos UAP, it was one of the founding clubs of the Tercera División. The club changed its name in 1996, and represented the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla.

The club's origins date back to the early 1930s, when it was known as Preparatoria and consisted exclusively of players who attended the university. Since then, the team competed intermittently over the decades.

It was not until the 1990s that the club made a significant comeback, after years of playing in the lower divisions of Mexican football. In 2003, Lobos BUAP secured a place in the Primera División 'A' de México, where it remained until earning promotion to Mexico's top flight in 2017. At the end of the Clausura 2019, the franchise was sold and relocated to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, becoming Juárez.
