Paris FC is a French women's football club based in Viry-Châtillon, a suburb of Paris. The club was founded in 1971 and currently play in the Première Ligue, the first division of women's football in France. The club has played in the first division since 1987.

Paris FC was founded in 1971 as Étoile Sportive de Juvisy-sur-Orge, the women's football section of local club ES Juvisy, based in Juvisy-sur-Orge. After 14 years, the section split from the club, formed its own club under the name Football Club Féminin Juvisy Essonne and moved to the commune of Viry-Châtillon. Despite moving from Juvisy-sur-Orge, the women's club retained the name FCF Juvisy amid financial backing and support from the commune and the General Council of Essonne. In the 1991–92 season, Juvisy won its first ever Division 1 Féminine championship. Between 1994 and 2003, the club won four league titles and later won a Challenge de France title in 2005 making Juvisy one of the most successful clubs in women's French football. Juvisy was a regular participant in the UEFA Women's Cup and, in the 2010–11 season, made its first appearance in the re-branded UEFA Women's Champions League. On 6 July 2017, FCF Juvisy was sold to Paris FC as its women's section and moved from an amateur structure to a full-time professional setup.

The club is managed by Sandrine Soubeyrand, who is the all-time leader in caps by a French international and made more than 200 appearances for Juvisy. Other notable players include Marinette Pichon, who was the women's national team all-time leading goalscorer, and Gaëtane Thiney, the club's appearance record holder.

Rivalries The Parisians share a strong rivalry with Paris Saint-Germain. Known as the Parisian Derby, the two teams compete for recognition as the capital's top team. Prior to the rise of PSG into an elite club in the 2010s, Paris FC were the biggest team in the land and usually had the upper hand against their city rivals. In fact, PFC were the last side to win the league title, in 2006, before Lyon won 14 consecutive championships, that run being halted when PSG claimed their first crown in 2021. Nowadays, PSG dominate the derby thanks to the huge gulf created between them by the investment of their Qatari owners, while Paris FC are trying to establish themselves as France's third team.
