Fablok Chrzanów is a Polish sports club, founded in 1926 in Chrzanów. Its name reflects the name of club's sponsor - Fablok, the biggest and most important company in town.

Fablok's most famous association football player is Paweł Cyganek, who played one game for the Polish national team, in a 4–2 win over Hungary on 27 August 1939. The club, however, also had other sections - ice-hockey, chess, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and handball (which became the strongest one, reaching Nationwide Polish Handball League). A few years ago, handball section split with Fablok and now exists under the name of MTS Chrzanów.

Presently, after financial problems, Fablok supports only one section - association football. As of 2024–25 season, the team plays in Wadowice group of the regional league.[1] It played in 1939 play-offs for accession to the national league with Śląsk Świętochłowice and Unia Sosnowiec. After World War II, the club played in the third division twice, in 1971 and 1997.
