Diagoras Dryopideon Aigaleo B.C. (alternate spelling: Egaleo) (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Διαγόρας Δρυοπιδέων Αιγάλεω K.A.E.) is a Greek professional basketball team that is located in Aigaleo, Greece, which is a suburb of Athens. It is a part of the multi sports club Athlitikos Syllogos Diagoras Dryopideon Aigaleo (Greek: Αθλητικός Σύλλογος Διαγόρας Δρυοπιδέων Αιγάλεω). Diagoras currently plays in the second-tier level of Greek pro basketball, the Greek A2 Basket League.
The club's parent athletic association, A.S. Diagoras Dryopideon Aigaleo (Α.Σ. Διαγόρας Δρυοπιδέων Αιγάλεω) was founded in 1967.[1] The men's basketball section of the club was founded in 1996.[2] After competing for many years in local and regional leagues in Greece, Diagoras Dryopideon played in a Greek national league for the first time, in the 2014–15 season, when the club competed in Greece's national minor league, the Greek 4th Division.
During the 2016–17 season, Diagoras won the Greek 4th Division's 2nd Group, and thus earned a league promotion to the Greek 3rd Division, for the following 2017–18 season. Diagoras finished second in the Greek 3rd Division's 1st Group, in the 2017–18 season, and thus earned a league promotion to the Greek 2nd Division, for the 2018–19 season. The club also made it to the last 16 stage of the 2018–19 Greek Cup tournament, where they lost to AEK Athens, by a score of 76–54.
In the 2019–20 Greek Cup tournament, Diagoras made it to the semifinals of the Greek Cup, where they again lost to AEK Athens, by a score of 89–71.[3] [4] In the Greek 2nd Division's 2019–20 season, Diagoras finished in second place in the league, behind Charilaos Trikoupis, and earned a league promotion up to the top-tier level Greek Basket League, for the following 2020–21 season. However, Diagoras declined to take their place in the league.
Diagoras Dryopideon plays its home games at the 2,000 seat Aigaleo Stavros Venetis Indoor Hall.

That was due to a punishment of the senior club of Olympiacos, for its forfeiting of several Greek Basket League and Greek Cup games, during the previous 2018–19 season. As a result, Olympiacos B Development Team was placed below Diagoras Dryopideon (16–5 record), in the Greek A2 Basket League's 2019–20 season standings.
