Løv-Ham Fotball is a football club from Fyllingsdalen in Bergen, Norway. Its origin are two local sports teams in Fyllingsdalen called Løvåsen and Hamre. On December 29, 1975 those clubs were merged, choosing the name Løv-Ham. In March 1999 Løv-Ham was divided into a football division, Løv-Ham Fotball, and a handball division, Løv-Ham Håndball.

Løv-Ham is still most notable as a football club, with more than 600 members. The senior football team currently plays in the 2nd highest level in Norway (Adeccoligaen). The club has struggled against relegation since they were promoted to the Adeccoliga in 2004, but despite being a low-budget club, Løv-Ham has somewhat stabilised as an Adeccoliga-club.
