Liga Leumit (Hebrew: ליגה לאומית, lit. National League) is the second tier of league basketball competition in Israel, below the Israeli Basketball Super League.

The league contains 14 clubs that compete in a home-and-away round-robin. At the end of the season, the top eight clubs advance to the play-offs. The first round is played on a best-of-three basis. The four winning clubs advance to two best-of-five playoffs, the winners of which are promoted to the Super League.
The two teams that finish at the bottom of the table are relegated to Liga Artzit.
