RK Metalurg Skopje (HC Metalurg Skopje) (Macedonian: РК Металург Скопје) is a team
handball club from Skopje, Republic of Macedonia.
The club was founded in 1971 under
patronage of the Skopje steel industry. There, an idea was born to form a
team composed of employees that worked in the nearby steel mill. Nikola
Bogdanovski accepted the idea after it was reviewed by the board of directors. So, RK
Metalurg was created.

champion 5 times, and a conqueror of the Cup of Macedonia 4 times.
Their current trainer is the Croatian Lino Cervar.
