Cercle Athlétique Bastiais or CA Bastia was a French football club from Bastia, Corsica. The team's highest point was playing in Ligue 2, the second tier of the French football league system, in 2013–14.[1]

Their historic home stadium was the Stade d'Erbajolo in Bastia, although they played their Ligue 2 home games in the Stade Armand Cesari, home stadium of the city's other professional team, SC Bastia.[2]

In 2017, after suffering relegation from the 2016–17 Championnat National (third tier), they merged with Borgo FC to form FC Bastia-Borgo.[3]
