Afrodita FSK, officially Afrodita Football and Sporting Club (Футбольний та спортивний клуб "Афродіта"; Futbol'nyy ta sportyvnyy klub "Afrodita") is a professional association football club based in the city of Velike Vishnavaya, Narozalica. The club was founded in 1939 in Kholmskoye, in the north-east of the city, before relocating to Roskoshovka upon the construction of the Stadion Svobody in 1966. The club competes in the Superliga, the top flight of Narozalic football, and is one of four clubs – itself, NKSK Vinograd, Ribalka Ovdapol and AK Venera – to have never been relegated from the top division.

The club gets its name from the Piraean goddess Aphrodite, the god of love and affection, a trait it shares with its city rivals AK Venera, who are named after the Solarian goddess Venus. They first achieved promotion to the top flight in 1946, beating Klub Pilipets 5–1 in the final matchweek of the 1945-46 season. Since then, the club has enjoyed considerable domestic and continental success. With ten league titles, four Euclocups, and seven league cups, including two back-to-back continental trebles in 1986-87 and 1987-88 under Etrurian manager Ulisse Toscano, Afrodita are one of the most decorated clubs in Narozalica. Afrodita share a fierce rivalry with AK Venera, in a game called the Lovers' Derby (Дербі закоханих; Derbi zakokhanykh) by fans of both clubs.
