Østerrike – Bundesliga er den øverste divisjonen for basketball i Østerrike. Serien ble etablert i 1947, og er organisert av Østerrikes basketballforbund.

Serien består av ti lag, som spiller en dobbel serie med hjemme- og bortekamper. De fire beste lagene etter grunnserien går videre til sluttspillet, som spilles i et best-av-fem-format.

Det mest suksessrike laget i Bundesligaen er BC Vienna, som har vunnet serien 19 ganger. Regjerende mestere er Kapfenberg Bulls.

Ligaen er ikke en del av Euroleague Basketball-systemet, men de østerrikske klubbene kan kvalifisere seg til FIBA Europe Cup.
