Unione Sportiva Castelnuovo Garfagnana were an Italian football club, based in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Tuscany. The club was founded in 1922. Castelnuovo last played in Serie C2/B in the 2007–08 season, however, after 86 years the club has been liquidated

The team's colors were dark blue and yellow.

Castelnuovo played Serie C2 from 1999–2000 to 2007–2008, after winning promotion from Serie D in 1998–1999. In 1999–2000, Castelnuovo gained a surprising third place, and qualified for the promotional playoffs, losing 2–1 (on aggregate) in the semifinal round to Prato. In 2002–2003, with a fourth place in the final table, Castelnuovo again qualified for the promotion playoffs, but again lost in the semifinal round; 5–2 on aggregate to Gubbio.

The 2007-08 season saw Castelnuovo finish in 15th place, forcing it to play in the relegation playouts against Rovigo, where it won after a 3-3 aggregate score (higher classified teams are considered the winners on aggregate ties). Although it escaped relegation to Serie D, the club was liquidated on June 30, 2008 due to financial troubles, and is now expected to be registered to Eccellenza under a new company some time in the future.1
