Halcones de Xalapa (in English: Xalapa Falcons) is a basketball club based in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico that plays in the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP).[1] Their home games are played at Gimnasio Universitario de la Unidad Deportiva. Halcones have won four LNBP championships, in 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Former Michigan star and NBA player, Robert Traylor, played for Halcones UV Xalapa three months before his death in May 2011. In 2015, Halcones withdrew from the LNBP due to financial problems.

In the 2023–24 season, Halcones played in the continental top league Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA). They became the first Mexican team in the competition's history to make the Final Four.[2]
