FIBA Oceania Championship was the Oceania basketball championship that took place every two years between national teams of the continent. It was also the qualifying tournament for the Basketball World Cups and Olympic Games.

The first edition of the tournament was held in 1971. When only Australia and New Zealand competed, the tournament was usually a best-of-three playoff; if other teams competed, a round-robin and a knockout stage was employed. In 2009, the Oceania Basketball Federation changed this format to a two-game, home-and-away playoff between the two countries, with aggregate score as the tiebreaker should the teams split the series.

Beginning in 2017, all FIBA continental championships for men were held on a four-year cycle, and the continental championships were no longer part of the qualifying process for either the World Cup or Olympics. The 2015 Oceania Championship was the last to be held, and since 2017, the tournament merged with the former FIBA Asia Championship to give way to a competition now known as the FIBA Asia Cup.
