The NBA on ABC is the branding used of broadcasts of National Basketball Association (NBA) games produced by ESPN and broadcast by ABC. Television broadcasts of the National Basketball Association (NBA) games were first broadcast by American broadcast network ABC from January 3, 1965 to May 10, 1973. Broadcasts produced by ABC Sports (later ESPN on ABC) returned on December 25, 2002, this time utilizing the NBA on ABC branding. Since 2006, when ABC Sports was rebranded to ESPN on ABC, the said branding was used less often.

ABC's regular season schedule includes Christmas Day games; NBA Saturday Primetime games on selected weekends from December or January to March; and NBA Sunday Showcase games on selected afternoons from February to March. ABC then airs selected games during the first five weeks of the NBA playoffs and is the exclusive broadcaster of the NBA Finals.
