FC Benkovski (Bulgarian: ФК Бенковски) is a Bulgarian football club based in Isperih, that competes in the North-East Third League, the third tier of Bulgarian football. It is named after Bulgarian Revival revolutionary Georgi Benkovski.
Despite having moderate success in the 70s and 80s in the second tier, the club bounced between Third League and Razgrad regional divisions since, before folding in 2015. It was refounded in its current state in 2016.
For the first time a team from Isperih qualified for the Northern "B" Group (until season 2012/13 "B" Group was split into Northern and Southern divisions) in the 1975/1976 season. The team spent 7 consecutive seasons in the second tier of Bulgarian football. Their highest finish was 12th place in the 1976/1977 season.
