The {{nihongo|'''Japan Basketball Association'''|日本バスケットボール協会|Nihon basukettobōru kyōkai|abbreviated as '''JBA'''}} is the governing body of [[basketball]] in [[Japan]]. Formed in 1930, it is based in Tokyo. The JBA is a member of [[FIBA]] and [[FIBA Asia]].

The federation is responsible for the [[Japan national basketball team]] and the [[Japan women's national basketball team]] and their Under-age teams.
It also manages the [[B.League]] commenced in October 2016.<ref name="NewLeague">{{cite web|url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2015/09/15/basketball/new-pro-basketball-league-unveils-name-logo/ |title=New pro basketball league unveils name, logo |date=15 September 2015 |access-date=16 September 2015 |last=Nagatsuka |first=Kaz |work=[[The Japan Times]]}}</ref>

As of April 2021, its president has been [[Yuko Mitsuya]].<ref name="Mackay">[https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1107164/basketball-australia-appoint-jo-juler Basketball Australia makes high-level appointment and renews partnership with Japan] Duncan Mackay ([[Inside the Games]]), 27 April 2021.

==History==
[[File:JapanJABBA.gif|thumb|220px|right|Former logo of the Japan Basketball Association JABBA]]
[[File:Japan Basketball Association.gif|thumb|175px|right|Former logo]]

The JBA was suspended by FIBA on 25 November 2014 for failure to restructure as a fully functional entity and merge two competing leagues (the National Basketball League and the [[bj league]]) that had different rules (FIBA and [[NBA]] respectively).
Yasuhiko Fukatsu had earlier resigned as JBA president on 23 October as talks of a merger between the two leagues fell through. 
This sanction prevented the JBA from participating in activities (sporting or otherwise) of FIBA and FIBA Asia, which also meant that the national teams would not be able to take part in any FIBA competition.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fiba.basketball/news/pr-n65--japanese-basketball-association-suspended |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141128175107/http://www.fiba.com/news/pr-n65--japanese-basketball-association-suspended |url-status=live |archive-date=28 November 2014 |title=PR N°65 - Japanese Basketball Association suspended |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=26 November 2014 |website=[[FIBA]]|location=Mies (Switzerland) |access-date=12 August 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2014/11/26/basketball/fiba-bans-japan-international-competition/#.Vcpz_vntmkp |title=FIBA bans Japan from international competition |last=Odeven |first=Ed |date=26 November 2014 |website=[[The Japan Times|JapanTimes]].co.jp |access-date=12 August 2015}}</ref>

Japan 2024 Task Force (the task force implemented by FIBA in order to reform basketball management in the country) co-chairman [[Saburō Kawabuchi]] was chosen as JBA president on 13 May 2015, on recommendation from FIBA.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2015/05/13/basketball/kawabuchi-chosen-as-new-japan-basketball-association-president/#.Vcpzrfntmkp |title=Kawabuchi chosen as new Japan Basketball Association president |last=Nagatsuka |first=Kaz |date=13 May 2015 |website=[[The Japan Times|JapanTimes]].co.jp |access-date=12 August 2015}}</ref>
In May of that year, the Japanese national teams were again allowed to take part in FIBA competition, starting with the [[2015 FIBA Asia Women's Championship]] and [[2015 FIBA Asia Championship]], with suspension expected to be lifted at FIBA's Central Board meeting taking place in [[Tokyo]] in August.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2015/06/19/basketball/fiba-fast-track-fully-lift-japan-basketball-association-ban-august/#.Vcpzpfntmkp |title=FIBA on fast track to fully lift Japan Basketball Association ban in August |last=Nagatsuka |first=Kaz |date=19 June 2015 |website=[[The Japan Times|JapanTimes]].co.jp |access-date=12 August 2015}}</ref>
The suspension was lifted on 9 August 2015, with FIBA praising the work done over the space of six months to overhaul the structure of the JBA and implement a new combined league (the [[B.League|Japan Professional Basketball League]]) to start play in 2016.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fiba.basketball/news/pr-n32--fiba-reinstates-japan-basketball-association |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150813212024/http://www.fiba.com/news/pr-n32--fiba-reinstates-japan-basketball-association |url-status=live |archive-date=13 August 2015 |title=PR N°32 - FIBA reinstates Japan Basketball Association |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=9 August 2015 |website=[[FIBA]] |location=Tokyo |access-date=12 August 2015}}</ref>
