Kvik/Halden F.K. is a Norwegian Football club, founded June 19th, 1906. The club currently plays in the Norwegian Third Division.
In 1997, a merger between the two Halden-based clubs F.K. Kvik and Halden F.K. resulted in the formation of Kvik/Halden F.K.. F.K. Kvik was the older and better of the two, but Halden F.K. had a rather large base of young players. The merger was controversial, and has been criticized by some who claim that the result of the merger was that F.K. Kvik simply took over Halden F.K..
Kvik/Halden F.K.'s only claim to fame came in 1918, when the club (then F.K. Kvik) won the Norwegian Cup, beating S.K. Brann in the final. F.K. Kvik played two other Cup Finals, in 1915 and 1922, but lost both, both times to Odd B.K..
