Aiginiakos Football Club is a Greek football club, based in Aiginio, Pieria. It was established in 1972.

Aiginiakos appeared in Gamma Ethniki's Northern Group in 1989–90 Gamma Ethniki,[1] but finished the season on the last place and was relegated to the regional championship.[2]

In 2012, Aiginiakos lifted the Pieria FCA Cup in 2012 after beating AE Peristasi 1–0 in the final[3] and was supposed to play in the 2012–13 Delta Ethniki after having ended first in the A' Division of the local Pieria championships.[4] However, they took the place of fellow Pieria-based club Platamon Academy in the Football League 2 – the latter being Group 3 champions in the 2011–12 Delta Ethniki but could not obtain a professional licence to play in the 2012–13 Football League 2. The solution was found by merging with Platamón CF and getting the licence needed. In Football League 2 things were easy for the teams, as they knew that the top five teams would promoted to Football League. Aiginiakos got the 4th place with ease, and got promoted to Football League for the first time in their history.[1]
