Teplitzer FK was a Czechoslovak football club from the town of Teplice, which played seven seasons in the Czechoslovak First League. It was founded in 1903 as a football club associating the local German population.{{cite book |title=Český a československý fotbal – lexikon osobností a klubů|last=Jeřábek|first=Luboš|year=2007|language=Czech|publisher=Vydala Grada Publishing, a.s.|location=Prague|isbn=978-80-247-1656-5|page=203}} The club was the first from Czechoslovakia to travel to the New World, making a 1922 trip to Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, where the team played six matches, including one against Club Nacional de Football and other against Santos.{{cite book|title=Atlas českého fotbalu od roku 1890|language=Czech|first1=Radovan|last1=Jelínek|first2=Miloslav|last2=Jenšík|year=2005|location=Prague|isbn=80-903645-1-9|page=100|url=http://www.atlasfotbalu.cz/pdf/100.pdf|accessdate=26 January 2016}} The club's best result was finishing fourth in the 1933–34 Czechoslovak First League.
