Nogometni klub Primorje (English: Primorje Football Club), commonly referred to as NK Primorje or simply Primorje, was a Slovenian football club from Ajdovščina. After Slovenia's independence in 1991, Primorje spent a total of 18 seasons in the Slovenian First League until the club's disbandment after the 2010–11 season, when it could not obtain a competition license from the Football Association of Slovenia due to high financial indebtedness.[1] Their best league finish was second place in the 1996–97 and 2001–02 seasons.

A successor club was established in June 2011 under the name DNŠ Ajdovščina.[2]

The team played their home matches at Ajdovščina City Stadium, a 1,630 capacity stadium in Ajdovščina.[3] The stadium was renovated during the 2009–10 season, and was reopened in September 2010.[4]
