The Israeli Female Basketball Premier League or Ligat ha'Al (Hebrew : ליגת העל בכדורסל נשים), is a women's professional basketball league in Israel. It currently is composed of twelve teams.

The league was founded in 1957. Initially the most predominant teams in the league were veteran women basketball clubs such as Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv whom won almost constantly during the first two decades after the establishment of the league. This changed in 1976 when the team Elitzur Tel Aviv began to constantly win all of the league's championships for 19 years straight. During the 1990s this trend changed as the most prominent championship winners became Electra Ramat Hasharon and Elitzur Ramla.

The champions of the last season were Elitzur Ramla. The champions of all time are Elitzur Tel Aviv (15 championships)
