FC Ştiinţa Bacău was a Romanian football club located in Bacău. The team was founded in 2008 and began playing in the Liga II. The club was dissolved in early 2009.
Luceafărul Lotus Băile Felix had earned the promotion to Liga II at the end of the Liga III 2007–08, but they announced their withdrawal due to financial reasons. A group of businessmen from Bacău decided to form a new team to occupy the vacant spot. Thus, Ştiinţa Bacău was born.
The club appointed Cristian Ciocoiu, a former football player who played for local team FCM Bacău and Steaua Bucharest, as president.
The club was dissolved in January 2009 because of the financial crysis.
In February 2009 business man Giani Nedelcu joined with Mircea Crainiciuc and refounded back the club dissolved last summer, Luceafărul Lotus Băile Felix, and took Ştiinţa's place in the championship. But until the end of the season, they will continue to play under the name of Ştiinţa Bacău.
