This study aims to examine the actual role of strategic thinking (intentional thinking, opportunistic thinking, timely thinking, and holistic thinking) in achieving entrepreneurial performance. The study is based on a real-world problem, which is framed as: "What is the strategic role of strategic thinking in achieving entrepreneurial performance in commercial banks?" Using a descriptive-analytical approach to diagnose and study the reality in greater detail, the study employed a questionnaire as the main tool for data and information collection in commercial banks, with a random sample of 52 respondents. The study focused on several statistical tools, including frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, correlation coefficients, and simple and multiple linear regression in the statistical program (SPSS V.26). The main findings revealed that the managers of the investigated banks play an effective role in utilizing strategic thinking with its dimensions (intentional thinking, opportunistic thinking, timely thinking, and holistic thinking) to enhance entrepreneurial performance.
