Derby Club was a musical and comedy club located in Milan, Italy.

The club was founded in the late 1950s by Gianni Bongioanni as a restaurant named "Gi-Go" in which live jazz music was occasionally played.[1][2][3] It turned into a nightclub in 1962, when thanks to the involvement of jazz musician Enrico Intra was renamed "Intra’s Derby Club" (later just "Derby Club") after the Inter Milan-A.C. Milan football derby, and started focusing on jazz music and stand-up comedy performances.[1][2][3]

The club became a meeting place for a very diverse audience, and actively contributed to the launch of several artists' careers, including Enzo Jannacci, Cochi Ponzoni and Renato Pozzetto (a.k.a. Cochi e Renato), Paolo Villaggio, Diego Abatantuono, Claudio Bisio, Giorgio Faletti, I Gufi, Massimo Boldi, Teo Teocoli, Lino Toffolo, Paolo Rossi, Antonio Catania, Gianfranco Funari, Giobbe Covatta, Enrico Beruschi, Felice Andreasi, Francesco Salvi, Enzo Iacchetti, Walter Valdi.[1][2][3][4] Among artists who performed there were also Dario Fo, Charles Trenet, Amália Rodrigues, Ornella Vanoni, Gino Paoli, Gabriella Ferri, Bruno Lauzi, Franco Califano, Quartetto Cetra.[1] In the 1980s the club started declining, eventually closing in 1985.[1][2][3]
