TSV Crailsheim is a German football club from the town of Crailsheim, Baden-Württemberg. Founded as the gymnastics club Turnverein Crailsheim in 1846, the association today has over 3,000 members in 20 departments including athletics, basketball, cycling, dance sport, fistball, fencing, fitness, football, hand ball, Ju Jitsu, Judo, rehabilitation sport, swimming, table tennis, and tennis.

Several of the teams representing the club have enjoyed success: the women's football side plays in the ladies' 1. Bundesliga, the men's basketball team in the 2. Basketball-Bundesliga Süd, and the men's footballers in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (IV).

TSV was promoted to the Verbandsliga Württemberg (V) in 2001 and then advanced to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in 2003. In their first season at that level they narrowly missed quick promotion to the Regionalliga Süd (III) when they finished just one point behind FC Nöttingen.
