The San Juan Knights, also known as San Juan Knights – Go For Gold for sponsorship reasons, are a Filipino professional basketball team based in San Juan. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's North Division. They are one of four teams based in Metro Manila's Eastern District and play their home games at Filoil EcoOil Centre.

The team's first incarnation was established in 1999 as part of the Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA) until 2001. In 2018, the Knights were revived as they joined the MPBL for the 2018–19 season. The team's second incarnation has taken part in other leagues, including FilBasket, Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3, and the Pilipinas Super League, the latter of which they compete under the name San Juan Kings.

In 2023, their volleyball counterpart, the San Juan Lady Knights became one of the eight charter teams of the Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA).

The Knights have been one of more successful home-and-away basketball teams in the country. Across both incarnations, the Knights have clinched three championships: two in the MBA (2000 and 2001 – First Phase) and one in the MPBL (2019). The Knights also made the MPBL's Division Finals four times in a row from 2019 to 2023, and the MPBL Finals in back-to-back seasons (2019 and 2021). As of 2023, San Juan holds the highest overall regular season winning percentage for any active team in the MPBL at .760, and the most playoff wins of any MPBL team at 25.
