Türkgücü München (lit.'Turkish Power Munich') is a German association football club from Munich, Bavaria, founded in 2009 through the merger of Türkischer SV 1975 and ATA Spor München. Drawing on roots that reach back to the migrant side SV Türk Gücü München of the 1970s, the reorganised club competes in the Bayernliga, one of the fifth tiers of the German league system.

The modern entity was created to give Munich's sizeable Turkish community a stable, upward-looking club after SV Türk Gücü had folded in 2001 following financial collapse. Starting in the Landesliga, Türkgücü climbed three divisions in a decade, securing back-to-back promotions in 2018 and 2020. The latter elevation—granted when the club topped the pandemic-curtailed 2019–20 Regionalliga Bayern—made Türkgücü the first club rooted in Germany's migrant diaspora to reach the nationwide professional 3. Liga. A 15th-place finish in 2020–21 proved sustainable on the pitch, yet mounting debts forced the club into insolvency proceedings in January 2022; Türkgücü withdrew from the 3. Liga two months later and all results were annulled. Re-licensed for the 2023–24 campaign, the senior team resumed play in the Regionalliga Bayern and has since stabilised under a semi-professional model.

Türkgücü stages its home matches primarily at the 15,000-capacity Grünwalder Stadion, sharing the historic ground with 1860 Munich and Bayern Munich II. Occasional fixtures are moved to the adjacent Olympiastadion when higher attendances are expected. The team's colours are red and white, mirroring the Turkish national flag, and supporters refer to the side simply as Türkgücü ("Turkish Power"). Although attendances are modest by Munich standards, the club commands a dedicated following among the city's Turkish-German population and promotes intercultural initiatives through its academy and community programmes.
