Kashima Antlers (鹿島アントラーズ, Kashima Antorāzu^?) is a J. League team. Antlers is derived from the city name, Kashima, which literally means "deer island".

Founded in 1947 as Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. in Osaka. It played in the semi-professional Japan Soccer League and moved to Kashima, Ibaraki Prefecture in 1975. After the formation of the fully professional J. League, Sumitomo, like all other clubs, stripped the corporate brand from the team name and reformed as the Kashima Antlers. Its hometowns are Kashima, Itako, Hasaki and Kamisu, all in Ibaraki Prefecture. The team plays at Kashima Stadium.

Led by former Brazilian star and Japanese national team coach Zico, Kashima won the J. League 1st stage championship in 1993. In the 2000 season, it became the first J. League team to achieve the "treble", winning all three major titles: J. League, J. League Cup, and Emperor's Cup.
