The Netherlands Fed Cup team represents the Netherlands in Fed Cup tennis competition and are governed by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Lawn Tennis Bond. They currently compete in the World Group, which is the highest level of Fed Cup competition.

Most recent year-end rankings are used.

The Netherlands competed in its first Fed Cup in 1963. Their best result was reaching the final in 1968, losing 3-0 to Australia, and 1997, losing 4-1 to France with Brenda Schultz-McCarthy winning her singles match against Mary Pierce.

In 1998, the team was relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group I, where they spent nearly all their time through 2013.

The Netherlands earned back-to-back promotions in 2014 and 2015 by defeating Japan and Australia respectively, thereby securing a spot in the 2016 Fed Cup World Group.
