Lekhwiya Handball Team (Arabic: فريق لخويا لكرة اليد) is the handball team of Lekhwiya, based in the capital city of Doha, Qatar. It currently competes in the 1st Division of the Qatari Handball League (QHL) and was founded in 2013. It plays its home games at the Lekhwiya Sports Stadium.
The idea to form Lekhwiya's handball division began in April 2012 when the Qatar Handball Federation wanted to increase the number of teams participating in the league. Lekhwiya were presented with an opportunity to form a handball team and participate in the first division, and the president of the club, Abdullah Al Thani, accepted. Jabbes Ibrahim was selected as the first coach of the team.
