FK Čukarički Stankom is a Serbian football club from Čukarica that plays in the Serbian Superliga.

The club had emerged from Čukarica, a City of Belgrade municipality on the Sava River's right bank, around a factory sugar-house, craft factory of boats. The club was formed on July 4, 1926. From a bar, Majdan, the club was given the name: ČSK "Čukarički Casual Club. The club colors have been black and white, it is a tradition which is still present. The first president was Miloš Ilić, the first Serbian aviator. The first players of the club were amateurs, the players organised the pitch, made their own jerseys and nets.

The going was tough for the matches they had in Belgrade but there was a big friendship and trust between the players. The most famous Čukarički player between the two wars was Aleksandar Petrović-Pikavac. In 1935 he was transferred to the best club in the country, FK Jugoslavija, and was a regular on the Yugoslavian national team. He was remembered as the best dribbler of the pre-war Yugoslavia. In 1948, the club finished fourth and in 1951 third. In the 1953/54 season, the club finished third and then second in 1955/56. Great achevament was brought on to the club ten years later in the 1966/67 season when they finished first in the Second Belgrade League and won the Belgrade Cup the same year. They were promoted to the Serbian League where they were constantly on top. They became the champions of the Serbian League in the 1972/73 season. The same was repeated in the Second United League-East.

In the Yugoslav Cup in 1995, FK Čukarički came into the quarterfinals and also competed in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in the 1996 season and the 1997 season. Their biggest recent success came in the 1999/2000 season when they finished 6th in the First Yugoslav League. Later on, a big company called Stankom became the club's sponsor and brought a better organization, increased the stadium capacity to 7,000 and also brought a better financal situation. The future looks good for FK Čukarički. The club competes in the Serbian Superliga, after being promoted from the Second Division.

The youth school of FK Čukarički Stankom is one of the most successful in Serbia.
