Sociedad Deportiva Cultural San Antonio was a Spanish handball team based in Pamplona, Navarra. During the 1990's and early 2000's it was one of the strongest teams in Spain.

History

Founded in 1955, they were promoted to the Liga ASOBAL in May 1989. In 1992-93 they were relegated, but promoted again 2 years later.

In the early 2000's they continued to be one of the top Spanish teams, winning another league title in 2004-05. In the 2008-09 season the team started to fall behind, when they were left by their sponsor 'Portland'. After an uncertain few weeks, its spot in Primera Estatal was transferred to BM Ardoi, therefore, the club no longer owned any sporting team.

In April 2013, when the bankruptcy process finished, SDC San Antonio was officially liquidated.
