Philadelphia German-American was an American soccer club based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that was an inaugural member of the professional American Soccer League.

Before the 1941–42 season the club became known as the Philadelphia Americans. During the 1953–54 season, the franchise was bought by trucking magnate Anthony M. Uhrik, owner of the "A.M. Uhrik, Inc." and renamed the Uhrik Truckers.[1] Many of the team players worked in the Uhrik truck company serving as drivers or at the loading docks.[2]

Home games were played at Lighthouse Field and Northeast High School Field.[2]

The team earned a "mini-double" in 1955 winning the league championship and league cup (the Lewis Cup). The club also won the National Amateur Cup in 1933 and 1934 and the Lewis Cup in 1941, 1943 and 1958.
