This is a list of top-division association football clubs in CONMEBOL countries. CONMEBOL, the South American football confederation, includes all South American countries except Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana as members.
Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana have their own football associations but are members of CONCACAF, the North American football confederation. The Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory, is not a member of CONMEBOL or any other football confederation.
Each of the CONMEBOL member countries have their own football league systems. The clubs playing in each top-level league compete for the title as the country's club champions, and also for places in next season's premier CONMEBOL club competition, the Copa Libertadores (and for some countries, also for places in the second CONMEBOL club competition, Copa Sudamericana). Due to promotion and relegation, the clubs playing in the top-level league are different every season.
The champions of the previous season in each country are listed in bold. If the season is divided into Apertura and Clausura without a single season title, both champions of the previous season are bolded.
- For clubs playing at lower divisions, see the separate articles linked to in the relevant sections.
- For clubs belonging to any of the other five continental football confederations of the world, see List of football (soccer) clubs.
