The Royal Netherlands Baseball and Softball Federation (Dutch: Koninklijke Nederlandse Baseball en Softball Bond, KNBSB) is the national governing body of baseball in the Netherlands. Baseball is played in all the provinces, but it struggles for popularity due to the popularity of many other sports, including the sport of soccer, in which the Netherlands has always been one of the leading nations. School-aged children are generally guided toward a future in soccer, rather than baseball.

Since 1922, the national major league in the Netherlands has been the Honkbal Hoofdklasse.

Most notable Dutch baseball players include Hensley Meulens, Robert Eenhoorn and Andruw Jones, Didi Gregorius.
