FC Argeș 1953 Pitești was a Romanian football club based in Pitești, Argeș County. Created in 2013 by supporters after the original FC Argeș Pitești folded, it operated as a phoenix club entirely owned by its fans. The team began in Liga IV, the fourth tier. In its debut season, it placed second in the Argeș County division.
That same year, it took part in the inaugural Football without Owners Tournament, a friendly competition for fan-owned phoenix clubs, alongside ASU Politehnica Timișoara, FC Vaslui 2002, and host LSS Voința Sibiu, finishing third. On June 12, the club defeated county rivals Unirea Bascov to win the league and earn a promotion playoff spot for Liga III. However, lacking sufficient financial backing, the club dissolved shortly after securing promotion. Its only league title was the 2015–16 Liga IV Argeș County championship, having been runner-up the previous season.
