Braxgata Hockey Club, also known as Braxgata, is a Belgian professional sports club based in Boom. The club is most well known for its field hockey section, with both the first men's and women's teams playing as part of the Belgian Hockey League.

Braxgata was founded in 1981. In 1997, it was named by the Royal Belgian Hockey Association as Club of the Year. Since 2005, Braxgata has found its home in De Schorre.

In 2007, Braxgata organized (together with the Royal Belgian Hockey Association) the Champions Challenge . The Belgian Red Lions participated, but finished in sixth place. The winner of that tournament was Argentina, who won 3–2 after extra time against New Zealand in an exciting final.

In March 2009, Braxgata opened its new club house. In June 2009, Braxgata was named European Hockey Club of the Year by the European Hockey Federation.

In 2013, Braxgata hosted the 2013 Men's EuroHockey Championship and the 2013 Women's EuroHockey Championship.

In 2016, together with the Phantoms Boom (Boom's Basketball Team), Braxgata started on construction of a multi-functional sports hall. It officially dubbed the BraxHall and was opened in March 2017. The BraxHall has been owned by the town of Boom, via its Autonomous Municipality Company Boom Plus, since January 1, 2020.

In 2025, Braxgata finished Runners up in the Women's Euro Hockey League, losing 5–1 against Den Bosch.
