Sanfrecce Hiroshima (サンフレッチェ広島, Sanfuretche Hiroshima^?) is a football team for J. League. The team name comes from the Japanese numeral for three, San and an Italian word frecce or 'arrows'. This is based on the story of Mori Motonari who told his three sons that while an arrow might be easily snapped, three arrows would not be broken and urged them to work for the good of the clan and its retainers.

The team's home town is Hiroshima, Hiroshima and plays at Hiroshima Big Arch and Hiroshima Perfectural Stadium. It practices at Yoshida Soccer Park in Akitakata, Hiroshima and Hiroshima 1st Ball Park.

The team was a former company team of Toyo Kogyo Soccer Club in 1938 and played in the semi-professional Japan Soccer League. The name change was made at Mazda SC Toyo in 1980. When JSL disbanded and became the J. League in 1993, it dropped the company name and became "San Frecce Hiroshima". In 2002, San Frecce became the first former stage winner (first stage, 1994) to be relegated to the lower division, J2. But it only spent a year there, finishing second the very next season to regain promotion back to J1.
