Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya (Arabic: فريق الكلية العسكرية, lit. 'Military College'), known up until 1958 as Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya Al-Malakiya, was an Iraqi football team founded in 1937 in Baghdad which represented the Iraqi Military Academy. They were the runners-up of Iraq's first ever national cup when they lost the final of the 1948–49 Iraq FA Cup to Sharikat Naft Al-Basra.^[1] They were also the first ever winners of the Iraq Central FA Premier League, a regional league for teams from Baghdad and its neighbouring cities, when they earned the title in 1948–49.^[2] Their final season in the top-flight was 1969–70 when they were relegated to the region's second-tier.^[3]

Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya were consigned to competing in non-IFA competitions after 1974 following the introduction of a clubs-only league system in Iraq, and competed in Army competitions until 1991 when the team was disbanded along with several other Army teams due to the Gulf War.^[4]
