The Yokohama F. Marinos (横浜F・マリノス, Yokohama Efu Marinosu), simply known as the Yokohama Marinos, are a Japanese professional football club based in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, part of the Greater Tokyo Area. The club currently competes in the J1 League, which is the top tier of football in the country.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Having won the J1 League titles 5 times in 1995, 2003, 2004, 2019 & 2022 and finishing second fifth times, Marinos are one of the most successful J.League clubs. The team is based in Yokohama and was founded as the company team of Nissan Motor. The club was formed by the merger of Yokohama Marinos and Yokohama Flügels in 1999. The current name is intended to reflect both of the original names. Yokohama F. Marinos is the longest serving team in the top flight of Japanese football, having played at the top level since 1982, also making them, along with Kashima Antlers, one of only two teams to have competed in Japan's top flight of football every year since its inception.

Marinos have won 5 J1 League titles, 7 Emperor's Cup titles, 1 J.League Cup and 1 Japanese Super Cup. Continentally, the club became the first club to win the Asian Cup Winners' Cup back-to-back in 1991–92 and 1992–93.
