FC Lori Vanadzor (Armenian: Ֆուտբոլային Ակումբ Լոռի), is a defunct Armenian football club from Vanadzor, Lori Province. Founded in 1936, FC Lori is among the oldest football clubs in Armenia.
The club participated in the first ever Armenian football competition after the split-up from the Soviet Union. After the regular competition they did not qualify for the championship stage, but were forced to play in the relegation stage. Here they finished in seventh position, which forced them to play in the Armenian First League (second level) for the 1993 season. In that season they finished first in their group (the league was split-up in two groups) which gave them promotion to the Armenian Premier League. Lori then became a yo-yo team referring to their up-and-go history of promotion and relegation. In 2002 they played their last season in the Premier League as of today and relegated to the First League. As of 2006 they haven't been seen in any of the two professional leagues anymore.
