VfB Altena is a German football club from the city of Altena, North Rhine-Westphalia.

In addition to its football side the club has departments for chess, handball, and table tennis.
History
The team was established 23 March 1912 as Verein für Bewegungsspiele Altena and was joined sometime around 1920 by the football department of Turnverein Deutsche Eiche Altena.[1] After emerging as Landesliga Westfalen (IV) champions in 1974 they were promoted to the Amateurliga Westfalen (III), Gruppe 2. The league was reorganized into a single division in 1978 becoming the Amateuroberliga Westfalen (IV). Altena earned only lower table finishes with their best result being 9th in 1978. They were relegated after a 14th place finish in 1981 and play today in the Kreisliga A Lüdenscheid (VIII).
