IF Göta is a sports club in Karlstad, Sweden, founded in 1904.[1] In the beginning, the club practised football and athletics.[2] The club used to have a successful team in bandy, becoming Swedish champions six times, but now is only concentrated on athletics. The bandy department was merged with IF Boltic to form BS BolticGöta.

The club is sometimes unofficially called IF Karlstad-Göta to avoid confusion with the Stockholm-based sports club IK Göta.
