Stoppen Sportsklubb is a Norwegian association football club from Lier, Buskerud.

Stoppen SK was founded on 12 April 2012 [1] as a merger of Sparta/Bragerøen and Liungen IF. [2] As Sparta/Bragerøen played in the Third Division, Stoppen directly succeeded that team. [3]

The club debuted in the 2013 Norwegian Third Division, but was relegated. Said head coach Thomas Røed; "We understood quite early that this could well end relegation". [4] Following another relegation to the Fifth Division, the men's team won promotion to the 2019 Fourth Division. [5] Another relegation in 2021 [6] was followed by instant re-promotion.

The women's team plays in the Fourth Division as of 2025.
