The British Basketball Federation, known as British Basketball, was the national sports governing body for basketball in Great Britain. It organised Great Britain (GB) teams for men and women in international competition. Northern Irish players normally compete for Ireland, but are also eligible to compete for GB.

The three home nations associations—Basketball England, Basketball Scotland and Basketball Wales— have responsibility for basketball in their own countries, including organising competitions and developing the sport.

On 14 November 2025, British Basketball announced that it had ceased trading and had appointed professional advisors to “put the company into liquidation”.
