Benda Chamber Orchestra is a Czech amateur music ensemble in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. It is named after the renowned Czech family of musicians and composers of the 18th century - the Bendas (František Benda or Franz Benda, Jiří Antnonín Benda or Georg Anton Benda).

The orchestra was founded in 1956 in Ústí nad Labem, Czechoslovakia. It focuses on performing (often unknown) pieces of Czech classical and baroque music.

Benda Chamber Orchestra co-operates with outstanding professional musicians. Currently it is led by Jiri Havlik, a member of the Czech Philharmonic.
