Yongin FC (Korean: 용인 FC) is a professional football club based in Yongin, South Korea. It is expected to be formally established in January 2026 ahead of its inaugural season in K League 2, the second tier of men's football in South Korea. Early in 2025 Yongin mayor Lee Sang-il announced his intention to launch a professional football team in the city. The commitment was ratified in May 2025 and Kim Jin-hyung was appointed as chairman. The club subsequently appointed Choi Yun-kyum as Yongin FC's first manager and Lee Dong-gook as technical director. In August 2025, the club received approval to join the K League, confirming its intention to participate in the 2026 K League 2. Ahead of the 2026 season, technical director Lee stated that the club aimed to "survive in midtable" in its first two years before making a push for a chance at promotion to K League 1 by 2030.

In September 2025, Yongin FC revealed a shortlist of four emblems being considered for the club's badge, incorporating a dragon's head, symbolic of Yongin City. The designs were criticised for being overly simplistic and lacking relevance to the local area, with football fans taking to online forums to post their own designs. The team colour is Claret and Blue. Yongin FC's home ground is Yongin Mireu Stadium, a multi-purpose stadium on the outskirts of the city. The stadium was built in 2017, opened in 2018 and has a capacity of 37,155. The club's operations are based at the Yongin Football Center.
