Full name
  
Berliner Fußball-Club Allemannia 1922

Allemannia 22 Berlin was a short-lived German association football club from the city of Berlin. The club was also known as Neuköllner FC Allemannia after the Neukölln district of the city where it was based.

Allemannia was a workers' side that was part of the Arbeiter-Turn- und Sportbund (ATSB, en:Worker's Gymnastics and Sports Federation), a leftist national organization that was active from 1893–1933 until banned under the Nazi regime as politically undesirable. The ATSB staged a football competition and championship separate from that of the DFB (Deutscher Fußball Bund, en:German Football Association) from 1920–33.

In 1923, the club beat Tasmania Forst (3–1) and Komet Altona (3–1) on their way to the ATSB national final against defending two-time champion VfL Leipzig-Südost. The first meeting between the two clubs ended in a 1–0 victory for Leipzig that was annulled following a protest by the Berliners. Allemannia lost the rematch 3–1. The following season the team was eliminated in a quarterfinal series loss to Stern Breslau (0–1, 0–3) in its final playoff appearance before disappearing before the end of the decade.
