The following is a list of National Basketball Association (NBA) players who won the most championships.

The NBA is a major professional basketball league in North America. It was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA).[1] The league adopted its current name at the start of the 1949–50 season when it merged with the National Basketball League (NBL).[2] The NBA Finals is the championship series for the NBA and the conclusion of the sport's postseason. The winning team of the series receives the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. Players from the winning team usually receive championship rings from the team honoring their contribution, with "rings" becoming shorthand for championships.[3] The number of championships won by NBA superstars is often used as a measurement of their greatness.[4]

Boston Celtics center Bill Russell holds the record for the most NBA championships won with 11 titles during his 13-year playing career.[5]

As of 2020, Robert Horry, John Salley, LeBron James and Danny Green are the only players to have won championships with three different teams.[6]
