The Qatar national handball team is controlled by the Qatar Handball Association and take part in international handball competitions.

Qatar is one of the strongest teams in Asia having the second most Asian Championships after South Korea. They also have the distinction of being the only non-European side to reach the final of the Men’s World Handball Championship, when they finished as runners-up at the 2015 edition, losing to France in a close contest (22–25) on home soil. The tournament was however seen as controversial, as a large number of players in the Qatar team had been naturalised in the years leading up to the championship.
