Lupo Martini Wolfsburg is a German association football club from the city of Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony. The club's greatest success has been promotion to the tier four Regionalliga Nord in 2015–16.

The original club, Sportclub Lupo, was formed in 1962 by Italian migrant workers (German: Gastarbeiter) at the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, and merged in 1981 with another Italian migrant worker club, US Martini, to form the current club. Lupo is the Italian word for wolf, in reference to the city's name, Wolfsburg. While originally formed by Italian nationals, the club nowadays has a more diverse membership base, with more than 50% made up by non-Italians.[1]
