The Netherlands national men's field hockey team represents the Netherlands in international men's field hockey and is controlled by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Hockey Bond, the governing body for field hockey in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands are one of the most successful teams in the world, having won the Summer Olympics twice, the Hockey World Cup three times, the Champions Trophy eight times, the EuroHockey Nations Championship six times and the Hockey World League once.[2] At the 2020 Summer Olympics they gave their worst Olympics performance in 37 years when they failed to qualify for the semi-finals.[3]
