The club was founded in 1922 as part of the All-Union Sport Society "Dinamo" that had its different sport clubs in variety of sports throughout the whole Soviet Union. That society was the main sposor of the club at that time. Dinamo debuted in the Soviet Top League in 1936 among the original seven teams in the very first edition of the Soviet Top League. The club reenter the Soviet Top League right after the World War II as the member of the interrupted edition of 1941. The club then participated in the Top League between 1936 and 1954, finishing in the top five, three times. In 1954, however, it was decided to replace Dynamo with another club, TRL, after the people in charge of football in Saint Petersburg were left unimpressed with the team's tenth place finish in the League. From 1955-1961, they had only Jewish striker, Israel "Zolik" Olshanetsky.
Coincidentally, the club was resurrected in 1960 in place of the TRL and spent the next two seasons in "Class B", the second tier of the Soviet league pyramid, before finding its way back to the Top Division.
Dynamo lost its professional status in 2000, because of the lack of financing. The club, however, was immediately re-established by a local building society, but lost its professional status once again in 2004.
The new Dynamo Saint Petersburg was established on the base of another Saint Petersburg club FC Petrotrest Saint Petersburg in 2007. After their relegation from the Russian First Division in 2010, they returned to the name Petrotrest and a new team was established as FC Dynamo to play in the Amateur Football League.
In 1929, Dinamo gained its own stadium, Dinamo.
Currently, end of 2000s, Dinamo plays at Sport Complex Petrovsky in Saint Petersburg. The complex consists of two arenas (stadiums): the central sport arena (CSA) and the minor sport arena (MSA). Dinamo shares the complex with four other prefessional teams. In 2008 Zenit plays at CSA, the MSA is used by Dinamo, Zenit-2, Zenit-D, and Sever (Murmansk). The MSA provides 2835 seats to its spectators. There are talks that Zenit will move out of this complex to its new stadium that will be built in 2009 in place of the Kirov Stadium. This migration might provide Dinamo with full exploitation of the whole complex.
