TSV Helgoland 1897 was a German association football club from the Tempelhof district of the city of Berlin.

After being captured in 1807 by the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, the island was eventually ceded to Britain by Denmark in 1814.

In a burst of patriotic fervour, not one, but two new football clubs bearing the name "Helgoland" were formed in Berlin unawares of one another.

Several early clubs playing the new "English" games of football, rugby, and cricket incorporated it into their name.

Helgoland disappeared in the middle of World War II on 6 April 1941, but was re-established after the conflict on 29 October 1949.
