The EuroLeague Basketball Legend Award, or simply EuroLeague Legend, or EuroLeague Legends, is an award that is given by the EuroLeague Basketball Company, the organizer of the EuroLeague, which is the top-tier level professional basketball competition in Europe. It is a Hall of Fame award that is awarded only to a very distinct and small group of the greatest of all-time EuroLeague star players, head coaches, and executives, who are honored from time-to-time, for their outstanding playing, coaching, and front-office careers in the league. To which, the EuroLeague's organizing body, the EuroLeague Basketball Company, sees fit to officially designate them as "EuroLeague Legends".
EuroLeague Legends may be officially designated during or after their playing, coaching, or administrative careers. All players, head coaches, and executives who have been active in the EuroLeague are eligible for the EuroLeague Legend designation. Currently, the EuroLeague Legend Award has only been given to nine players, one head coach, and one team executive.
