'''Football Club Dnipro DnipropetrovskDnipro''' ({{lang-uk|Футбо́льний Клуб «Дніпро́» Дніпропетро́вськДніпро}} {{IPA-uk|dnʲiˈprɔ dnʲiprɔpɛˈtrɔβ̞sʲkdnʲiprо|IPA}}) is a [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] professional [[Association football|football]] club based in [[DnipropetrovskDnipro]].

Dnipro, which is the Ukrainian name of the [[Dnieper]] river in Ukraine, is a popular sports name in DnipropetrovskDnipro. Beside the association football club, there also is a [[bandy]] team under the same name,<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.ukrbandy.org.ua/zmagannya_en.html | title = Ukrainian bandy championship | publisher = [[Ukrainian Federation of Bandy and Rink-Bandy]] | accessdate = 16 May 2014}}</ref> basketball team and others. FC Dnipro DnipropetrovskDnipro, however, is not a multi-sport club: the club is owned by the [[Privat Group]] that also owns [[BC Dnipro]] and [[HC Budivelnyk|Budivelnyk Kyiv]].

During the Soviet era, the club was a member of the Soviet Volunteer Sports Society "Metallurg" (therefore it carried names Metallurg/Metalurh and Stal) and until 1961 was under sponsorship of the Petrovsky Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Plant. After that, the club was sponsored by the Southern Machine-building Plant [[Yuzhmash]] and carried both names Russian '''Dnepr''' and Ukrainian ''Dnipro'', while Dnepr was also used for international competitions. Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the club was the second most successful club of Ukraine that participated in the [[Soviet Top League]], winning in [[1983 Soviet Top League|1983]] and [[1988 Soviet Top League|1988]]. Sometime after the [[fall of the Soviet Union]], the club was privatized.
