Zamalek Sports Club (Arabic: نادي الزمالك للألعاب الرياضية‎), is an Egyptian sports club based in Meet Okba, Giza, Egypt that plays in the Egyptian Premier League. 

Founded in 5 January 1911 as Qasr El-Neel Club and was first headed by Belgian lawyer George Marzbach. 

The name was changed to El-Mokhtalat Club in the year 1913 and was named after to King Farouk Club in referring to the King Farouk in 1941, before finally settling as Zamalek SC after the 1952 Egyptian revolution.

The club has won:
• 12x Egyptian Premier League titles
• 23x Egypt Cup titles
•   2x Egyptian Super Cup titles
•   5x CAF Champions League titles
•   3x CAF Super Cup titles
•   1x CAF Cup Winners' Cup title 
•   2x Afro-Asian Cup titles

They won more CAF trophies than any other African team in the Twentieth century, and IFFHS gave them the title of World Best Club Team for February 2003.

Zamalek do not have their own stadium, and play home fixtures at Cairo International Stadium. 

Their main rivals are fellow tenants at the Cairo International Stadium, Al Ahly, with whom they contest the Cairo Derby.
