Gela Calcio is an Italian football club, based in Gela, Sicily. The club was founded in 1975 and refounded in 2006. Gela played 2005-2006 in Serie C1/B, but, following the bankruptcy of the club, a new society, with the current denomination, was admitted to Serie C2.

It was founded as Gela Juve-Terranova in 1995, after the merger between the old "Juventina Gela" and "Terranova Gela", a minor team from the city. Following financial troubles, the club was refounded with the current name in 2006.

Gela has gained some popularity in 2005 because of its commitment against the racket, in one of the cities of Sicily where the mafia is strongest.
