Bnei Herzliya (Hebrew: בני הרצליה‎, lit. Sons of Herzliya) is a professional basketball club based in Herzliya, in central Israel. The club plays in Ligat HaAl, the top division of Israeli basketball.[1]

The club was created by the merge of Maccabi Ra'anana and Bnei Hasharon in 2002. The merge has been made because of Maccabi Ra'anana's financial problems and Bnei Hasharon's relegation.

At the end of 2010/11 season, the merge ended and the team play only for the city of Herzliya.
