Racing Club de Lens is a French football club which plays in the city of Lens. Its nickname, sang et or (literally, 'blood and gold'), comes from its traditional colors of red and gold.

The club has long marketed itself as a regional club rather than a town-based outfit, and has become noted for its strong support across its region, despite the fact that a second top-level team is located in nearby Lille. The club's ground, Stade Félix Bollaert , seats 41,233—in a city of about 37,000 inhabitants (although Lens is at the center of a considerably more populous area).

Lens has been competitive in the top level of French football in recent years, winning the league in the 1997- 98 season, and finishing second in 2001- 02.
