Sociedad Deportiva Melilla was a Spanish football team based in the autonomous city of Melilla. Founded in 1970 and dissolved in 1976, it played for two consecutive seasons in Tercera División.

History

Founded in 1970, the club won promotion to Tercera División in 1974 after defeating Ceuta-based side SDU África Ceutí in the promotion play-offs. After two seasons in the third tier, the club was involved into a fusion with newly-formed side Gimnástico Melilla CF, but the move never materialize, and SD Melilla's main players moved to the latter club instead. Having no time to form a squad to play in the third division, the SD resign from their place in the category on 25 August 1976, becoming diluted inside Gimnástico's structure afterwards.
