Main article: EuroLeague Awards

EuroLeague Legend or EuroLeague Legends, is an award for the sport of basketball, that is given by the EuroLeague Commercial Assets (ECA), which is the organizing and governing body 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 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 ECA, sees fit to officially designate them as "EuroLeague Legends".

EuroLeague Legends may be officially designated either during or after their playing, coaching, or administrative careers. All players, head coaches, and executives, who have been active in the EuroLeague at any given time, are eligible for the EuroLeague Legend designation. Currently, the EuroLeague Legend designation has only been given to nine players, one head coach, and one team executive.
