FC Daugava (before 2007: FC Ditton) is a Latvian football club from the city of Daugavpils. In 2007 they renamed from FC Ditton to FC Daugava.

Following a 2008 season in which they won the Latvian Cup, Daugava merged with the city's other main club, Dinaburg FC, with the merged club retaining the Dinaburg name. Dinaburg also inherited Daugava's place in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League.

After Dinaburg FC relegation from Virsliga (relegated because of suspictions about totalizator playing at the club level), the city Daugavpils had no teams in Virsliga – the highest league in Latvian football. That time Daugava was a member of 1. Līga (the 2nd level of Latvian football). Daugava hadn't managed to qualify for Virsliga but LFF decided to give Daugava a place in Virsliga next season. Daugava accepted this offer and was included in Virsliga 2010.
