RC Olomouc is a Czech rugby club based in Olomouc. They currently play in the KB První Liga.
The club was founded in 1953. It started when Milos Dobrý, a former Czechoslovak international and the last president of the Czechoslovak union, moved to Olomouc from Prague in 1951. Initially the club consisted of the Dukla Zenit Olomouc army team and a civilian team.
One of the club's biggest problems in the early years was securing a home ground. They played at a number of grounds, in the Černovír and Holice areas of the city, the village of Bohuňovice, the race track in Lazce and a open field next to Andrův Stadium.
In 2003 the club celebrated its 50th anniversary.
