Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru Football Club, simply known as MBJB FC, was a Malaysian football club based in Johor Bahru, Johor. The club represented Johor Bahru City Council in Malaysia football.[1]

In 2009, the club was booted out from the Malaysia Premier League after only playing five matches, citing its failure to settle insurance dues before the given date.[2]

The team was promoted back for the second time in 2012, having finished 2011 Malaysia FAM League as runners-up. This time, their campaign lasted only a season when they finished last in the 12-team league and got relegated straight back to the FAM League. They collected 5 points, scoring 18 goals while conceding 79.

After the 2012 season, the Johor Football Association made a re-structuring plan to allow only two teams to represent the state of [[Johor in the Malaysia Football League. Thus, MBJB FC and MP Muar FC were to be playing in the PBNJ State League.[3]
