SBV Excelsior is a professional football club from Rotterdam, in the Kralingen-Crooswijk district. It was founded on July 23, 1902 and was formerly known as 'Rotterdamse Voetbal en Atletiek Vereniging Excelsior' (Rotterdam Football and Athletics Union Excelsior). The club plays in the top Dutch league, Eredivisie.

Excelsior used to be a satellite club of Feyenoord, where Excelsior received money and players (either on loan or free transfer) from Feyenoord. That system ended in 2005. Now there is just a little co-operation in the youth level. Excelsior's home stadium is the Stadion Woudestein, which has a capacity of about 3,527, one of the smallest stadiums in the Netherlands.
