NEC Red Rockets (NECレッドロケッツ, NEC Reddo Rokettsu) is a women's volleyball team based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It plays in SV.League. The owner of the team is NEC.

The club was founded in April 1978 as NEC's corporate team, participating the same year in the 10th V.Challenge League tournament. The club advanced to membership in the Japan Volleyball League in 1979, securing 3rd place in the league rankings by the end of the season. The club has subsequently been league champions nine times, and marked its 200th victory in 2008.

In 2021, the team rebranded to further evolve while preserving its history, and relocated its hometown to the Kawasaki area of Kanagawa Prefecture and the Tokyo area.
