Clermont Foot 63 (Occitan: Clarmont d'Auvèrnhe; commonly referred to as Clermont Foot) is a French professional football club based in Clermont-Ferrand, France. It competes in Ligue 2. The first incarnation of the club was formed in 1911 and the current club was created in 1990 as a result of a merger.

The club plays its home matches at the Stade Gabriel-Montpied located within the city. Between 2014 and 2017, Clermont was managed by Corinne Diacre, the first woman to manage a men's professional football team.[2] In 2021, the club achieved promotion to Ligue 1 for the first time in its history.
