Club de Futbol Cruz Azul S.A. de C.V. Hidalgo, also known as Cruz Azul Hidalgo, is a Mexican professional football club based in Ciudad Cooperativa Cruz Azul, Hidalgo. The club competes in Liga de Expansión MX, the second level division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at Estadio Refundación. It serves as an affiliate team of Cruz Azul.

Founded in 1993, the club competed at various levels of the Mexican football pyramid. In 2014, the original second-division franchise was sold, prompting the affiliate team Cruz Azul Jasso to adopt the Cruz Azul Hidalgo identity to continue competing in the Liga Premier de México. The team operated until its dissolution in 2021. Ahead of the 2026–27 season, the club was reestablished to return to the Liga de Expansión MX.
