The Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia (Košarkaški savez Jugoslavije|Кошаркашки савез Југославије; Slovenian: Košarkarska zveza Jugoslavije; Macedonian: Кошаркарска федерација на Југославија) was a non-profit organization and the national sports governing body for basketball in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Until 1991, the organization has represented SFR Yugoslavia in FIBA and the men's and women's national basketball teams in the Yugoslav Olympic Committee.
After the dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia in 1992, the successor countries all set up their national federations, while the Federal republic of Yugoslavia kept the National Federation until the dissolution of the State Union of Serbia & Montenegro in 2006.
After the dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia in 1991, five new countries were created: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, FR Yugoslavia (in 2003, renamed to Serbia and Montenegro) and Slovenia.
