Diagoras Football Club (Greek: Γ.Σ Διαγόρας) is a football club based in Rhodes, Greece. It was founded in 1905. Diagoras is named after the island's ancient boxer Diagoras. The team first played under Ottoman Rule until the short lived independence of the Dodecanese in 1912. No matches at all were held during the Balkan Wars and the team did not play with Greek teams until the Dodecanese joined with the rest of Greece in 1947.

The club demonstrated rich social, cultural, sporting and especially patriotic activities, because of which was dissolved by the occupying Fascist Italian authorities in 1929. Diagoras reconstituted in 1945, just prior the liberation of Rhodes and the union with Greece. They played in Super League Greece between 1986-1989.

In 1987 the club reached the semi-finals of the Greek Cup, losing to OFI.

On 16 February 2012, Diagoras was expelled from the professional leagues by the Greek Professional Sports Committee.[2]
