FC Karpaty Mukacheve () was a Ukrainian football team from Mukacheve, Zakarpattia Oblast. The club was formed in 1946 as FC Bilshovyk.
History Looking back throughout the history, in the city existed several football clubs that preceded current club. After the Second World War in 1945 in Mukacheve, were formed three football teams "Spartak" (represented a local tobacco factory), "Bilshovyk" (brewery), and "Dynamo" (law enforcement and border guards).Hadzheha, V., Selmenskyi, S. From the history of the Mukacheve football club "Karpaty" (З історії мукачівського футбольного клубу "Карпати"). Zakarpattia online. 24 November 2010 On 13 May 1945, the local newspaper "Zakarpatska Pravda" was reporting its readers that the local Mukacheve Dynamo had hosted "Spartak-URSO" from Uzhhorod and beat it 10–1. Sometime a week later, the same Dynamo Mukacheve beat Dynamo Berehove at home 5–2. Soon the chairman of the People's Council of Transcarpathian Ukraine Ivan Turyanytsia received an official invitation to send an athletic team of Zakarpattia of about 150 athletes to the Ukrainian Spartakiad that had been scheduled to take place 23 August to 6 September 1945.
In 1947, all three football teams were merged into one and named as Bilshovyk Mukacheve.Hadzheha, V., Selmenskyi, S. "Karpaty" Mukacheve. The history of the team («Карпати» (Мукачево). Історія команди). Zakarpattia online. 8 December 2010

Based out of Mukacheve, Zakarpattia took part in the Ukrainian First League from its first championship in 1992. They were later sent down to Druha Liha after the 1996–97 season, and in couple of years folded.
