Bnei Yehuda is an Israeli football club based in the Hatikva Quarter of Tel Aviv. They currently feature in the Israeli Premier League.

Bnei Yehuda were established in January 1936 by Nathan Sulami and his friends and gained promotion to the Israeli top flight for the first time in 1959. In 1965 they reached the final of the State Cup for the first time in history and again made it through to the final in 1968.

Bnei Yehuda suffered relegation from the Israeli top flight at the end of the 1971-1972 season but bounced back immediately. They went down again but bounced back in style, finishing fourth in the league in the 1978-1979 season.

Yehuda, though, bounced back immediately and won their first ever, and so far only, Israeli championship in the 1989-1990 season and won the Toto Cup in 1992 and again in 1997. At the end of the 2000-2002 season they dropped down into the second division of Israel but returned after one season there and have sustained their top flight status ever since.
