{{Club Africain sections}}

Club Africain ({{langx|ar|النادي الإفريقي}}), known as CA for short, is a Tunisian professional football club based in Tunis. The club was founded in 1920 and its colours are red and white. Their home stadium, Hammadi Agrebi Stadium, has a capacity of 60,000 spectators. The club currently plays in the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1.

Club Africain, as some of its founding fathers affirm, is the natural extension of the Stade africain (association founded in 1915 and dissolved in 1918) of which it retains the colors, the spirit, part of the name as well as a core of players (particularly Mohamed Soudani).{{citation needed|date=April 2025}}

Club Africain was the first Tunisian club to win an international trophy, when they won the Maghreb Cup Winners Cup in 1971. Twenty years later, in 1991, Club Africain became the first Tunisian team to win the African Champions League.{{citation needed|date=April 2025}}
