Club Deportivo Hércules is a professional football team that play in San Salvador, El Salvador. They were founded on 25 September 1904 as Club Deportivo Hércules as a sporting club focused on athletics, swimming, basketball and football.

Hércules was a powerhouse during the late 1920s and early 1930s, winning titles in 1927, 1928 and in the 1929–30, 1930–31, 1931–32, 1932–33, 1933–34 seasons.^[1] Although the Primera División de Fútbol Profesional in El Salvador didn't exist at that time, and the Salvadoran Sports Commission (Comisión Nacional de Educación Física) didn't conduct an official national tournament during those years, the championships they won are often considered the national titles. Hercules won their first title on the 13th of November, 1927 defeating Chinameca S.C. 3–0. It was re-established on May 9, 2025, to participate in the Primera División series starting with the 2025 Apertura Tournament.

After several decades of hiatus, It was announced on March 15, 2025 that Once Deportivo de Ahuachapan would be moving from Ahuachapán to San Salvador due to minimal fan support and council support. FESFUT announced no longer allowed to multi club ownership which meant Salume group who owned Once Deportivo (along with Aguila and Alianza) gave their ownership to another group of investor. On May 9, 2025 It was announced that the historic club Hercules was would be taking over Once Deportivo's former spot in the Primera División series in the Apertura 2025.^[2] Later, the club's board of directors, history, and official crest were officially presented on the Canal 4 forums on TCS (in the Yo me llamo studios). The event was attended by various sports journalists.^[3]

The team will participate in the CONCACAF Central American Cup as one of El Salvador's representatives, based on the title won by its predecessor in the 2024 Apertura Tournament.^[4]
