Orthodox Club

Orthodox Club (Arabic: النادي الأرثوذكسي), also known simply as Orthodox or Orthodox Amman, is a multi-sports club based in Amman. The team was first established in Jaffa, Palestine in 1924, and was re-established in Jordan in 1952 after its members fled the displacement of the Arab–Israeli War. They are mainly known for their basketball team and compete in the Jordanian Premier Basketball League, where they are tied for most wins to date. Their most recent win was in 2015.

The club has an associated women's football team.
