G.S. Ergotelis Basketball (Greek: Γ.Σ. Εργοτέλης Μπάσκετ), also known simply as Ergotelis, is a Greek amateur basketball club, part of the multi-sport club Gymnastics Club Ergotelis, that is based in Heraklion, Crete. The club's basketball department currently competes in the Greek B Basketball League, and was officially founded in 1968, the same year it joined the registers of the Greek Federation of Sporting Clubs. In 1983, Ergotelis was one of the clubs that signed the establishment of the Cretan Basketball Associations Union. Currently, both men's and women's basketball departments are amateur clubs, that host home games at the Lido Indoor Hall in Heraklion, a basketball court with a capacity of 1,400 spectators. Ergotelis currently holds the record for most regional titles won in Crete, having won a total of 15 regional Championships and two Cretan Cups, since the Cretan Local Basketball Committee, the governing body of basketball on the island, was founded in 1968 (and replaced by the Cretan Basketball Associations Union in 1983).
On 15 October 1968, Ergotelis' basketball department was the first in Heraklion to join the registers of the Greek Federation of Sporting Clubs (the governing body for basketball in Greece, the Hellenic Basketball Federation became an independent organization in 1970). This was at a time when the club's football department officials were accused by the Greek military junta of 1967–1974 for «deviating from the purposes for which they were elected, turning the club into an instrument servicig political, and sometimes unpatriotic objectives».
