Juventus Bucharest is a sports club in Bucharest, Romania. It was established in 1924.

The hockey section was formed in 1940 and was composed of many of the former players of the defending champion Rapid Bucharest squad. Juventus promptly won the Romanian Championship in 1940-41, defeating Venus Bucharest in the final.

They repeated as champions in 1942, again triumphing over Venus. Juventus qualified for the 1943 national championship, which was cancelled as the ice melted in Iasi. Venus took the title over Juventus in 1944, although they exacted revenge with a 1-0 victory the following year.

Juventus added a fourth title to their ledger in 1946, and later played in the Romanian League as Petrolul Bucharest (1948-1950), Partizanul Bucharest (1950-1951), and Flacăra Bucharest (1951-1952).

The sports club still exists and plays in the top-tier Romanian football league as FC Petrolul Ploiești.
