Anorthosis Famagusta FC (Greek: Ανόρθωση Αμμοχώστου = Anorthosi Ammochostou) is a Cypriot football club, which comes from Famagusta. It was founded in January 30, 1911. After the north of Cyprus was occupied by Turkey in 1974, Anorthosis became a refugee team and are currently based in Larnaca. They have won 13 championship titles, their last in season 2007-2008.

On July 26 2005 they achieved one of the greatest results in Cypriot football history when they beat Turkish team Trabzonspor 3-1 in the first leg of their second round Champions League qualifying match. They lost the second leg 1-0 in Turkey, but progressed 3-2 on aggregate to a third-round qualifying tie against Scottish power Rangers.
