De Graafschap is a professional football club founded on 1 February 1954 in Doetinchem, Netherlands, and named after the Oost-Gelderland region known as De Graafschap. The club has played its home games at De Vijverberg since its foundation, and its supporters are affectionately known as Superboeren, or "Super Farmers."

The club is the only team from the NBVB that still exists as an independent professional club, and it has been promoted and relegated between the Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie a number of times, with its motto "Wi-j komt altied weer terug" ("We always come back") reflecting this pattern. The club has never won a major honour.
