Rethymno Cretan Kings B.C. (Greek: Ρέθυμνο Cretan Kings), is a Greek professional basketball club that was founded in Rethymno, Crete, in 1986. The club is also commonly known as Rethymno B.C. (Ρέθυμνο K.A.E.).

The team was previously known as Rethymno Aegean B.C., or Athlitikos Gymnastikos Omilos Rethymno (Α.G.Ο.R.) (Αθλητικός Γυμναστικός Όμιλος Ρεθύμνο (Α.Γ.Ο.Ρ.). The team's parent athletic club was founded in 1965.

History

To date, the team's greatest accomplishment occurred during the 2006–07 season, when the team qualified to play in the final of the Greek Cup, after defeating the top-tier level Greek League teams PAOK, Panionios, Sporting, and Kolossos Rodou. Rethymno was finally defeated by the Euroleague powerhouse Panathinaikos, by a score of 87-48 in the championship game of the 2007 Greek Cup, but nevertheless, Rethymno secured a new strong place in the Greek pro leagues after the team's showing.

After originally being named Rethymno Aegean, the club changed its name to Rethymno Cretan Kings in 2015.
