Greifswalder SV 04 was a German association football club from the city of Greifswald, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The club was formed out of the merger of SSV Grün-Schwarz Greifswald, ESV/Empor Greifswald, and Greifswalder SV 98. In addition to its football side the club had departments for athletics, badminton, basketball, dance and rhythmic gymnastics.

The merger of the three clubs made SV the second-largest club in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with some 1400 members. The club had a strong focus on youth football and had links to a number of area schools. It also had a DFB-affiliated training centre and had sent on several players to FC Hansa Rostock and state select teams.

In March 2015 the club decided to merge with FC Pommern Greifswald to form Greifswalder FC.[1]
