The Ecuador national beach soccer team represents Ecuador in international beach soccer competitions and is controlled by the Ecuadorian Football Federation, the governing body for football in Ecuador.

The team made their debut in international beach soccer at the 2009 World Cup qualifiers. Having reached the semi-finals of the World Cup qualifying championship on three previous occasions without finishing as one of the top three nations who qualify to the World Cup, Ecuador finally secured their first qualification to the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2017.[2]
