Parramatta Power Soccer Club were a professional association football club who were based in the city of Parramatta (Western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia). They played in the National Soccer League from season 1999-00 until the league folded in 2004. The Power were runners up to Perth Glory in the 2003–04 season of the NSL, both on the ladder and in the grand final, after Perth took control in extra time and scored the golden goal winner in horrendous weather to become the final NSL champions.

Quick facts Full name, Nicknames ...

The club was backed by the Parramatta Leagues club which also owns the Parramatta Eels rugby league team, played at Parramatta Stadium (home of the Eels) and played in gold and blue (Eels colours). The Power suffered from poor attendances throughout its existence, partly because of its links to the Eels which discouraged fans of other rugby league teams, as well as being in the already crowded Western Sydney football market.

When the A-League was established in 2004, newly-formed Sydney FC were the only team selected for the entire city (of the existing local NSL members, Northern Spirit also folded while Marconi Stallions, Sydney Olympic and Sydney United switched to the semi-professional NSW League). In 2012, Western Sydney Wanderers FC was formed as a new attempt to establish a professional team to represent the Western Sydney region, also based in Parramatta.
