The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) All-Defensive Team is an honor given annually to the five players which exhibited outstanding defensive capabilities.

Starting from the 2021 PBA season, each All-Defensive Team consists of two backcourt (guards) and three frontcourt (forwards or centers or both) players.[citation needed] Previously, each All-Defensive Team would have two guards, two forwards, and a center.
