Clubul Sportiv Municipal Slatina ({{IPA|ro|ˈslatina}}), commonly known as CSM Slatina or simply Slatina, is a Romanian football club based in Slatina, Olt County, which competes in the Liga II.

The club was founded in 2009 as CSM Slatina, quickly obtaining two consecutive promotions to reach the Liga II in 2011. That summer, it merged with FC Piatra Olt and moved from Slatina to Piatra Olt, also changing its name to FC Olt Slatina. At the end of its debut season in the second league, FC Olt was relegated, but then merged again with another club from Slatina, Alro Slatina. Technically, the new entity was a continuation of Alro Slatina, but with the name of FC Olt Slatina, whereas the original FC Olt Slatina—or the former CSM Slatina—was dissolved.

The former Alro Slatina was also dissolved four years later. In February 2018, the club was refounded and enrolled directly in the Liga V, where it played 15 matches from the remainder of that season.

In the summer of 2016 FC Olt Slatina (former Alro) was also dissolved, fact that led to the reestablishment of CSM Slatina a year and a half later. The club was enrolled in the Liga V – Olt County and finished only 8th in the first series, due to the fact that it was only enrolled in the competition during the winter break, playing only the second part of the season.{{cite web|title=Liga a V-a, Seria 1, 2017–2018|url=http://www.frf-ajf.ro/olt/competitii-fotbal/liga-a-v-a-seria-1-6031/csm-slatina-7886.html|publisher=frf-ajf.ro|accessdate=18 July 2018|language=Romanian|date=1 July 2018}} In the summer of 2018 the club was invited in the Liga IV, Bobi Verdeș was hired as the new coach, being transferred also some valuable players, with the clear goal, promotion to Liga III.{{cite web|title=Bobi Verdeş a lăsat echipa cu care a promovat în Liga 3 pentru a fi antrenor principal şi jucător la un alt club.
