Banks Sports and Cultural Club is a cricket club in Barbados. The club competes in the Barbados Cricket Association Division 1 competition, the premier cricket competition in Barbados. The club was established in 1964 for and by employees of Banks Brewery, a leading brewery in Barbados. Unlike some Barbadian clubs established before the 1960s such as Pickwick, Wanderers and Carlton, Banks began as a club primarily for black Barbadians.

Admitted to Division 1 in 1973, Banks has since won the Division 1 championship six times: 1978, 1979, 1986, 2001, 2002 and 2007.

Notable cricketers from Banks include:

  • Malcolm Marshall.
  • Gordon Greenidge
  • Vanburn Holder
  • Sherwin Campbell.
