The St. Teresa Football Club was an American soccer team based in St. Louis, Missouri founded in 1907. They competed in the St. Louis Soccer League..

In 1907, Lawrence Riley, a member of St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church in St. Louis, Missouri, convinced members of the St. Teresa Young Men's Sodality to form a soccer team. They entered the newly established St. Louis Soccer League, finishing third during the 1907-08 season. They finished runner-up the next two seasons, but were dropped from the league in 1910.[1] On January 2, 1910, St. Teresa defeated the Nationals from Cincinnati for the Midwest Championship. They played in the Robison Field League from 1913 to 1915.[2] In 1915, they moved down to the Fairground Division of the Municipal League.[3]
