- List of National Basketball Association retired jersey numbers
-
As a way to honor key contributors including players, coaches, fans, broadcasters and announcers, National Basketball Association (NBA) teams often retire their jersey numbers, win totals or microphones. In the case of jersey numbers, they are usually no longer available for future players to wear, although they can ask for permission from players whose jerseys are retired. Teams usually display these numbers by hanging banners on the rafters inside their home arena.

- 1 Loscutoff asked that his number (#18) not be retired to allow future Celtics to wear his number. His number is represented by "LOSCY." His number 18 was later retired in honor of Cowens.[2]
- 2 Jackson and Krause do not have actual numbers retired in their honor
- 3 Dawson does not have an actual number retired in his honor; rather, a banner with his initials is hanging from the rafters to pay tribute to his 27 years of service to the team.[13]
- 4 Numbers hang to the rafters as Honored Minneapolis Lakers. These six Hall-of-Famers were instrumental to the franchise's success during its days in Minneapolis. Except for 22, which was retired for Baylor, and 34, which has not been reissued since Shaquille O'Neal's departure in 2004, these "honored numbers" are still available.
- 5 The Miami Heat has also honored Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino with #13, although it is still available to wear.
- 6 Although #33 is retired, Grant Hill received permission from Adams to wear it.
- 7 The Seattle SuperSonics historical background was carried over to the Oklahoma City Thunder, although its colors, uniforms and logos remain for use by a future NBA team in Seattle and that the team's history will also be shared.
