FCM Bacău is a Romanian football club currently playing in the second Romanian division Divizia B. The club was established in 1950, and has achieved some decent results in the league (despite never having finished in the top 3), 4th place in the 1972/1973 season and 5th place in the 1996/1997 season as its best results there. In 2001, FCM Bacău relegated to the second league, but maintained in the first division after buying a place from promoted FC Baia Mare.

In the Romanian Cup, FCM Bacău managed to reach the final in the 1990/1991 season, eventually being defeated 2-1 by Universitatea Craiova, which also won the league that season. Their best European performance was achieved in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (the predecessor of the U.E.F.A. Cup) in the 1969-1970 Edition when the team, named at that time Dinamo Bacau, reached the quarter-finals, after eliminating teams like F.C. Floriana (Malta), F.K Skeid (Norway) and Kilmarnock F.C. (Scotland), being defeated by the team who at the end of the competition would win the trophy Arsenal F.C. with a humiliating 0-2 in Romania and 7-1 on Highbury Stadium.

FCM Bacău won the 1998 edition of Cupa Ligii and was runner-up in 2000.
