Shimshon Tel Aviv F.C. (Hebrew: מועדון כדורגל שמשון תל אביב, Moadon Kaduregel Shimshon Tel Aviv) is an Israeli football club based in Tel Aviv.

In 2000 it merged with Beitar Tel Aviv to create Beitar Shimshon Tel Aviv.[1] In 2011, the merge came apart after Beitar Tel Aviv merged with Ironi Ramla to create Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla, whilst Shimshon withdrew from the union and functioned as youth section, without a senior team.[2]

In 2014, the club was resurrected by local businessmen.[3][4] On 11 September 2014 Shimshom beat Hapoel Ramat Gan 1–0 in a historic first win in 10 years.
