Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio, commonly referred to as Atalanta, is an Italian football club based in Bergamo, Lombardy.

The club plays in Serie A, having gained promotion from Serie B in 2010–11.

The club is nicknamed the Orobici. Founded in 1907 by Swiss students in the gym of the Liceo Classico, Atalanta plays in blue-and-black vertically striped shirts, black shorts, and black socks. The club stadium is the 21,300 seat Gewiss Stadium.

In Italy, Atalanta is sometimes called Regina Delle provinciali (queen of the provincial clubs) to mark the fact that the club is by far the most consistent among Italian clubs not based in a regional capital, having played 58 seasons in Serie A, 28 seasons in Serie B and only one in Serie C.

The club won the Coppa Italia in 1963 and reached the Cup Winners' Cup semi-final in 1988 when it was still competing in Serie B. This is still the best ever performance by a non-first division club in a major UEFA competition (together with Cardiff City). Atalanta also participated in four seasons of the UEFA Europa League (previously known as UEFA Cup), reaching the quarter-finals in the 1990–91 season.

The club qualified for the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League, reaching the competition for the first time in their history, as they finished 3rd in the 2018–19 Serie A season. This represented the highest finish in the league in the club's history.
