Körfuknattleiksdeild Vals (Valur Basketball), also known as Valur, is a basketball team based in Reykjavík, Iceland. It is part of the Valur sport club. As of 2017 the women's team plays in Úrvalsdeild and its men's team plays in Division I.
The club was founded as Gosi on 25 December 1951 and was one of the founding members of the Icelandic men's top division.
