Morwell Dinamo Soccer Club was a soccer club based in Traralgon, Victoria, Australia. The club was founded in 1980 and previously competed in Latrobe Valley Soccer League, mostly known locally by the name Dinamo and inspired by the legendary Croatian Football League club GNK Dinamo Zagreb.
The Club represented the vast Croatian community who lived in the Gippsland region, many of who came to work at the Yallourn Power Station, the Morwell Power Station, the Hazelwood Power Station and the Loy Yang Power Station.
Morwell Dinamo was based at the Gippsland Croatian Association's headquarters, located between the cities of Morwell and Traralgon in the Latrobe Valley and just beyond the boundary of the Latrobe Regional Airport
