EuroLeague records

The EuroLeague is the highest level tier and most important professional club competition between basketball teams in Europe, with teams from up to 18 countries, from members of FIBA Europe, mostly consisting of teams from ULEB member national domestic leagues. The EuroLeague's records for individual players, coaches, and teams have been set over two different eras of the competition. The league's first era, when the competition was organized by FIBA, and the league's second era, organized by EuroLeague Basketball.

The FIBA era records of the competition were set from 1958 to 2001, including the lone season of the FIBA SuproLeague competition. While the EuroLeague Basketball era records of the competition have been set since 2000. There are also the overall historical records of the EuroLeague, which are the records for all formats and organizing bodies of the league's history, since 1958.
