Girondins de Bordeaux Bastide HBC is a French handball club based in Bordeaux, founded in 1945.
Originally the handball section of the multi-sport club Girondins de Bordeaux Omnisports, it became an independent club in 1988 and competed at the top level, notably winning the French Cup in 1990 and having four of its players finish as top scorers in the French Championship.
From 2002 onward, the club played in the lower divisions before filing for bankruptcy in 2014.
A new association was created in September 2014 under the name Girondins de Bordeaux Bastide HBC. For the 2024–2025 season, it competes in the French National 3 Championship.
