The Basilan Steel is a Philippine professional basketball team based in Lamitan, Basilan. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's South Division. The team most recently played its home games at Lamitan Capitol Gym.
The team began play in the 2018–19 MPBL season as part of the league's national expansion. In 2021, they renamed as the Basilan Peace Riders upon moving to the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, where they won their only league championship. In 2022, the team moved leagues once again, this time to the Pilipinas Super League (PSL).
In November 2024, the team was revived for the 2025 MPBL season under the backing of Starhorse Shipping Lines. The team initially went by the temporary name of Basilan Viva Portmasters before changing to Basilan Starhorse mid-season. In 2026, the team went back to their original name.
The Basilan franchise is one of five teams based in Mindanao and the lone team based in the Bangsamoro region.
