Asociația Fotbal Club Hermannstadt (German pronunciation: [ˈhɛʁmanʃtat]), commonly known as FC Hermannstadt, Hermannstadt, or familiarly as Sibiu (Romanian pronunciation: [siˈbiw]), is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Sibiu (German: Hermannstadt), Sibiu County, that competes in the Liga I.

The team was established in 2015 and introduced in the fourth division, with Hermannstadt being the equivalent of the city's name in the standard German language (i.e. Hochdeutsch). Roș-negrii achieved successive promotions and in 2018 reached the Liga I, the highest level of the Romanian football league system.

During the same year, Hermannstadt also played a Cupa României final, which they lost 0–2 to Universitatea Craiova.
