Esporte Clube de Patos, commonly known as Esporte de Patos, or just as Esporte, is a Brazilian football club based in Patos, Paraíba state.

The club was founded on July 7, 1952, by former athletes from the defunct local club Botafogo de Patos.

The founders were fans of Pernambuco football, thus the club adopted a similar name to Sport Club do Recife, and adopted the same colors and team kits as Clube Náutico Capibaribe's.
