'''[[Basketball]]''' at the '''[[2006 Asian Games]]''' was the second early start among the sports in the games. It was played from 23 November to 15 December 2006. In this competition, 20 teams participated in the men's competition and 6 teams played in the women's tournament. The events were held at the Basketball Indoor Hall.

The [[Philippines men's national basketball team|Philippines national basketball team]], winners of four gold medals in previous Games, did not participate in the basketball competition due to their suspension by the [[International Basketball Federation]] (FIBA). The political interference and conflict between the [[Basketball Association of the Philippines]] (BAP) and [[Philippine Olympic Committee]] (POC) was the cause of the suspension.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=sports6_oct16_2006|title=The politicization of Philippine basketball|access-date=2 December 2015|archive-date=5 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205144021/http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=sports6_oct16_2006|url-status=dead}}</ref>
