Casarano Calcio is an Italian association football club located in Casarano, Apulia. It currently plays in Serie C Group C.

The club was founded in 1927, playing also in Serie C for 20 seasons. The club's best results occurred in the 1990s under the guidance of sporting director Pantaleo Corvino, and was also the debut team of a 16-year old Fabrizio Miccoli.

In the 2001–02 season, Mario Kempes, the world-famous Argentine striker, briefly served as head coach for the club.

The club was refounded in 2006 as A.S.D. Virtus Casarano, but in summer 2012 it does not join in Serie D, due to bankruptcy.^[1]
