FK Rabotnički Kometal (ФК Работнички Кометал) is a Macedonian football club, which plays in the capital, Skopje at the Skopje City Stadium, which accommodates 18,104 spectators.

The club was founded in 1937, and was known as a "railway football club". For most of its existence it played in the Yugoslav Second Division, but following Macedonian independence it has played in the Macedonian First League. Rabotnički's most sustained period of success has been since it was taken over in 2001 by the Kometal company - it participated in the UEFA Cup in the 2001-02 season, and reached the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League in 2005-06 following their winning the national championship the previous season. Rabotnicki went on to win the national title in 2006, again qualifying for the Champions League, and have so far had a memorable run, defeating Dudelange of Luxembourg and Debrecen of Hungary to set up a clash against French club Lille which they lost.
