The Hungary men's national basketball team (Hungarian: Magyar nemzeti kosárlabda-válogatott) represents Hungary in international basketball tournaments. It is governed by the Hungarian Basketball Federation (MKOSZ).
Hungary's best period in international basketball competitions came in the 1940s to the 1960s. It was when the national team won several medals at the EuroBasket (1946, 1953, 1955), and reached the Olympic Games on four out of the first six editions of the event overall. However, since 1969, the team has only qualified for the continental showpiece three times (1999, 2017, 2022). Hungary also continues to vie for their debut appearance at the FIBA World Cup.
