Marcerra Kuantan Football Association (Malay: Persatuan Bolasepak Daerah Kuantan) is a defunct Malaysian football club based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The club was established in 1970 and began competing in the local league as Kuantan FA. In early 2018, the club's right was sold to Marcerra United and they decided to rename the club as Marcerra Kuantan FA as a symbol of the club's new start.
Some of the locals consider calling the club as the A.S. Roma of Malaysian Football due to the club sharing the same kit color scheme with the Serie A side .
On the 21st of April 2018, the club has officially withdrew by the orders of Football Association of Malaysia due to the ongoing off field issues. The club on the last season played in the Malaysia Premier League.
