The Suriname national football team is the national team of Suriname and is controlled by the Surinaamse Voetbal Bond.

Although the former Dutch colony (named Dutch Guiana, until 1975) is located in South America, it competes in CONCACAF, together with Guyana and French Guiana. Suriname won the CFU Championship (Digicel Caribbean Cup predecessor) in 1977, were runners-up in 1979 and reached fourth place in 1994 and 1996. Until the independence of Suriname in 1975, it competed as the Dutch Guiana national football team.

Unlike in the Netherlands Antilles, another former Dutch colony, it is ruled that players who move abroad to play in the Netherlands are not eligible to play for Suriname.^[1] Many Suriname-born players and Dutch-born players of Surinamese descent, like Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, Aron Winter, Romeo Castelen, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink turned out to play for Oranje.
