Föreningen för Kanot-Idrott, FKI, or in international context Stockholm Canoe Club, is a canoe club based in Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 1900, it is Sweden's oldest canoe club and precedes the national canoe organization by four years. The club is open for paddling and canoe sailing. FKI is based on the islet of Måsholmen , just off Djurgården in central Stockholm. Föreningen för Kanot-Idrott pioneered paddling and canoe sailing in Sweden, inspired by the Swedish naval officer Carl Smith and indirectly by Scotsman John MacGregor's 1866 canoe tour from Kristiania to Stockholm. A number of the club's members have contributed own innovative canoe designs, e.g. Sven Thorell, Gerhard Högborg, Arvid Rosengren and Nils-Göran Bennich-Björkman.
