FC Basel 1893 (Fussball Club Basel 1893), widely known as FC Basel, FCB, or just Basel,[1][2][3] is a Swiss football club based in Basel, in the Canton of Basel-Stadt.

FC Basel was started by an advertisement placed by Roland Geldner in the 12 November 1893 edition of the Basler national newspaper. He wanted that a football team is formed. Everybody who wants to play should come in the restaurant Schuhmachern-Zunft. Eleven men attended the meeting, mainly from the academic community, and founded the Fussball Club Basel on 15 November 1893.

Since 2009 the club also has a Women soccer team. They also play at the highest level of Swiss Women´s football, the Swiss Women's Super League.
