{{Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps}} '''Gimcheon Sangmu Football Club''' ({{Korean|hangul=김천 상무 프로축구단|hanja=金泉 尚武 프로蹴球團}}) is a South Korean professional football club based in Gimcheon that competes in the K League 1, the top tier of South Korean football. Sangmu is the sports division of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces.

Sangmu's playing staff is made up of young South Korean professional footballers serving their compulsory two-year military duty. Fifteen players join up at the start of every season and spend two years with the side before returning to their previous professional clubs. Due to its military affiliation, Sangmu are not allowed to sign any foreign players nor are they eligible for Asian competitions.
