Association Sportive de Cannes Football ( French pronunciation: [asɔsjɑsjɔ̃ spɔʁtiv də kan]; commonly referred to as AS Cannes or simply Cannes) is a French association professional football club based in Cannes. The club was formed in 1902 as a sports club and currently play in Ligue 3, the third tier of French football after promotion from the Championnat National 2 in the 2025–26 season. Cannes plays its home matches at the Stade Pierre de Coubertin, located within the city. The team is managed by Damien Ott.

The club was one of the founding members of the first division of French football and finished runners-up in the league's inaugural season. The club's highest honour to date was winning the Coupe de France in 1932. Cannes last played in Ligue 1 in the 1997–98 season and are currently serving the longest stint of any club in the National division, having been in the league since the 2001–02 season. The club has most notably served as a springboard for several prominent French football players such as Zinedine Zidane, Patrick Vieira, Johan Micoud, Gaël Clichy, Sébastien Frey and Jonathan Zebina.
