Maccabi Ironi Bat Yam (Hebrew: מכבי עירוני בת ים) was an Israeli football club based in Bat Yam. The club is currently in Liga Alef and plays at the 3,100-capacity Bat Yam Municipal Stadium.

The club was formed in 2004 by a merger of Hapoel Bat Yam and Maccabi Bat Yam and was placed in the South A division of Liga Bet. In its first season, the club won the division, and was promoted to Liga Alef. In 2007-08 they won the South division of Liga Alef, and were promoted to Liga Artzit.

In 2008-09, the club was promoted to Liga Leumit, the second tier. In 2011-12 the club finished third bottom and relegated to Liga Alef.
