The Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center is a college basketball practice facility, currently under construction in Syracuse, New York. Both the men's and women's basketball teams for Syracuse University will use the center. The planned facility will house two practice courts, locker rooms and office facilities for the men’s and women’s basketball programs at Syracuse. It will be located on the north side of Manley Field House, in between the Roy Simmons Sr. Coaches Wing and the Comstock Art Facility.

The name comes from current Denver Nuggets forward, Carmelo Anthony, who donated $3 million to the project. Anthony played one year with the Orange, the 2002-2003 season, in which he helped the program win its only NCAA Championship.
