Associazione Calcio Pistoiese is an Italian football club, based in Pistoia, Tuscany. The club was founded in 1921 and refounded in 1988. Pistoiese currently plays in Serie C1, having last been in Serie A in 1981. The team's colors are orange and blue.

The singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini is probably the most famous tifoso of Pistoiese in Italy.

Pistoiese achieved prominence by rising to Serie B in the late 1970s with promotion to Serie A following in 1980. With veterans like Marcello Lippi and Mario Frustalupi and promising young talents such as Paolo Benedetti, Pistoiese made a reasonable start to Serie A life and were as high as 6th after a win at Fiorentina. But a dismal freefall resulted in last place in relegation, and the club have not recovered since apart from spells in Serie B in 1995-96 and 1999-2002.

In the 2005/06 Serie C1/B campaign, Pistoiese battled against relegation from Serie C1 with goals proving hard to come by, yet having one of the best defensive records in the division. A good season ending brought the team to a good 9th place, but just three points ahead the relegation playouts.
