BFC Frankfurt Berlin was a German association football club that played in Berlin.

Founded on 5 May 1885, the club's unusual name was taken from the hometown of founder and president George Leux. The Leux family was well known as sportsmen in Frankfurt and George had come to Berlin to order to be better able to pursue his career as an artist.

BFC Frankfurt folded after only a brief existence with the club's members leaving to join

Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin. Nonetheless, BFC Frankfurt is recognized as one of the earliest football clubs formed in Germany – with some sources marking it as the country's first – and it was also one of the founding clubs of the German Football Association (Deutscher Fussball Bund or German Football Association) at Leipzig
in 1900.
