The Paraguayan Basketball Federation (in Spanish: Confederación Paraguaya de Basket) is the governing body of basketball in Paraguay.

In 1936 no governing body of basketball existed in Paraguay, so basketball was part of the Paraguayan Sports Association until 1947, year in which the Paraguayan Basketball Federation was founded. That same year, it joined the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).

The PBF organizes both the National League (for teams outside of Asunción) and the Metropolitan League (only for teams from Asunción), and runs the Paraguay national basketball team.
