Gibraltar Phoenix FC are a football club from Gibraltar who play in the Gibraltar Second Division. They won promotion after they finished second in the Second Division in 2012–13.

Gibraltar Phoenix was first founded in 2011 by Club President Nicholas Gaiviso and was officially registered as a Gibraltar Football Associated member in 2012.

The club is made up of individuals who are passionate about football and about playing in a team. This allos the team to pursue their passion for football, but also help with their widely recognised skills such as teamwork.

The clubs aim is to not only be successful and compete at the highest level, but to also enjoy their football and create relationships with the fans, players and coaching staff.

They have, however, the distinction of having competed in their domestic league while failing to score a single draw, never mind a single victory, during a league season.

During the 2013–2014 Phoenix were relegated from the Premier Division and so started 2014–2015 in the Second Division. They finished this season in 4th place 14 points behind the 2nd place finish which would have secured them promotion back to the top flight at the first attempt.

Gibraltar Phoenix finished 3rd in the Second Division during the 2015–2016 season one place and six points behind Mons Calpe in second place who were promoted via the playoff and Europa Point who topped the division a further 3 points ahead.
