Thai Farmers Bank Football Club (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอลธนาคารกสิกรไทย) is a defunct Thai football club based in Bangkok and supported by the eponymous financial institution. They won two AFC Champions League titles in 1994 and 1995.[1][2][3]

Due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the club sponsor's stock price dropped 49%, which resulted in them being taken over by foreign investors. The financial crisis went on, so in 2000 the club finally folded.[4]
