Guarany Futebol Clube, commonly referred to asGuarany de Bagé, is aBrazilian football club based inBagé,Rio Grande do Sul. It currently plays inCampeonato Gaúcho Série A, the top tier of theRio Grande do Sul state football league, and theCampeonato Brasileiro Série D. Guarany is one of the oldest and most traditional football clubs in the state ofRio Grande do Sul, as the oldest club there,Sport Club Rio Grande, was founded in 1900, seven years before Guarany was.

In 1920, Guarany won thesecond edition of the Campeonato Gaúcho, being the firstGaúcho club to win a title with a black player on field. Their famous secondGauchão title was conquered later on 1938.
