Akademiya (Russian: "Академия") was a Russian association football club from Tolyatti, Russia. The club was founded in 1991 as a result of the merger between Energiya (Энергия) and Lada-Simbirsk (Лада-Симбирск). Before the 2010 season, two teams from Tolyatti, FC Togliatti and FC Lada Togliatti, were excluded from the professional leagues, with FC Akademiya representing Tolyatti at the time.

In early 2008, most of the players and coaches from the 2007 Krylya Sovetov-SOK roster moved to a new club, FC Togliatti. That club formally was from Tolyatti, but played in Dimitrovgrad on the same field as FC Akademiya.
