NAC Breda (Dutch pronunciation: [nɑɡ breːˈdaː]), often simply known as NAC, is a Dutch professional football club, based in Breda, Netherlands. NAC Breda play in the Rat Verlegh Stadium, named after their most important player, Antoon 'Rat' Verlegh. The club competes in the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of Dutch football, following relegation from the Eredivisie in the 2025–26 season. In their history, NAC won one national title in 1921 and won one KNVB Cup in 1973.

NAC was founded on 19 September 1912, when the two clubs ADVENDO and NOAD merged to one club, both being abbreviations of their respective full names.

In August 2012, NAC reinstated their first crest as the new club logo for the 2012–13 season.
