The Netherlands men's national 3x3 team is the 3x3 basketball team representing the Netherlands in international men's competitions, organized and run by the Nederlandse Basketball Bond.[1] In 2024, the team won the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

With the 5x5 national team qualifying just once for the FIBA World Cup back in 1986, the Netherlands shifted the focus onto 3x3 basketball instead and managed to qualify for the first two ever Olympic competitions. The team finished 5th in 2020 and became Olympic champion in 2024, defeating host country France in the final with a Worthy de Jong two-point buzzer-beater in overtime.

The men's team is also a two time world silver medallist at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup (2017, 2018) and a two times European bronze medallist at the FIBA 3x3 Europe Cup (2016, 2022). The most successful Dutch player is Dimeo van der Horst who won three medals (Olympic gold, world silver and European bronze) with the squad.
