Button football is a football (soccer) simulation game played on a table-top using concave "disks" or "buttons" as players. Board dimensions, markings, and rules of play are modeled to simulate standard football. It is popular throughout all of Brazil, and possibly other countries as well.

The term "button football" is an imperfect translation, as there is no standard name for the game in English. In Portuguese it is known as either the competitive sport of "Futebol de Mesa" ("Table Football", which would commonly be confused with Table Football or Foosball) or the more friendly game of "Jogo de Botões" ("Button Game", which yields no useful description).

The origins of button football are likely derived from any number of games played with tabs, bottle caps, or coins. The invention of the game using 11 pieces per side with rules simulating football is unclear, though a 6-piece version is known to have originated in eastern Europe.

In Brazil, the patron of button football is widely accepted as Geraldo Décourt. He began playing in 1922 as a schoolboy, using buttons removed from his clothing as pieces. Décourt published the first known rule and guide book in 1930. He named the game “Celotex”, after the material which covered the tables on which it was played. Décourt continued to promote the game and organize tournaments on and off for the rest of his life.
