FK Teleoptik (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Телеоптик) is a professional football club based in Zemun, Belgrade, Serbia. They currently compete in the Serbian League Belgrade, the third tier of the national league system.

History

Founded by the manufacturing company of the same name in 1952, the club played in the local leagues during the existence of the former Yugoslavia, but without notable achievements. In the period when the country started breaking apart, they agreed to an affiliate partnership with Partizan. One of the most significant aspects of this cooperation was the construction of the SC Partizan-Teleoptik, which was officially opened in May 1998.

In the NATO bombing-shortened 1998–99 season, the club finished second in the Serbian League Belgrade, thus being promoted to the Second League of FR Yugoslavia. After easily securing league status in their debut season, they made an even better result in the 2000–01 season, finishing in fifth place. However, the club failed to avoid relegation in 2002, when the competition changed its format.

After seven consecutive seasons in the Serbian League Belgrade, the club finally got promotion to the Serbian First League in 2009 after eliminating Timok in the playoffs. They spent the following five seasons in the second tier of Serbian football, before being relegated in 2014. After winning the Serbian League Belgrade in 2017, the club was promoted back to the second tier of Serbian football, but suffered relegation again in 2019.
