# List of NBA players born outside the United States

In the National Basketball Association, players born outside of the United States are often known as international players. Players who were born in U.S. overseas territories, such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, are considered international players even if they are U.S. citizens. In some borderline cases, the NBA takes into consideration whether a player desires to be identified as international. Additionally, there are players who are U.S. citizens on account of being born there but who also have additional citizenships or have represented other countries in international basketball competition. This list contains all players who fulfill at least one of these conditions.
Players whose nationality is listed as United States were born outside of the country but have represented them in international basketball tournament. Players who were born outside the United States to U.S. parents and players who became naturalized U.S. citizens are also included in that section.
Hank Biasatti, who was born in Italy and raised in Canada, was the first international player in the league in 1946. The number of international players in the league rose after the formation of the Dream Team when NBA players were allowed into Olympic play starting in 1992. Global interest in basketball subsequently soared. On opening day of the 1991–92 season, NBA rosters included 23 international players from 18 countries. At the start of the 2016–17 season, there was a record-high 113 international players from 41 countries and territories. In the start of the 2017–18 season, there were 108 international players from a record-high 42 countries and territories, including five players signed up through the newly implemented two-way contract.
The number of players on opening-night rosters broke an all-time league record first set in 2010–11 and tied in 2012–13, and the number of countries represented surpassed the record set in 2010–11. In addition, the San Antonio Spurs set an all-time record for international players on an opening-night squad, with 10 during the 2013–14 season. The record number of international players was broken again in 2022–23, with a total of 120 players from 40 countries on opening night rosters.
As of the 2024–25 season, Canada has produced the most foreign NBA players, with 64. From European countries, France has produced 52 players, Serbia has produced 33, Croatia has produced 24, Germany has produced 21, and Spain has produced 20. From Oceania, Australia has produced 35 players while New Zealand has produced 3 players. From African countries, Nigeria and Senegal have produced 30 and 14 players respectively. From Latin America, Brazil and Puerto Rico have produced 20 players each, and Argentina has produced 16. From Asian countries, China has produced 8 players, while Japan and Lebanon have produced 6. Among transcontinental countries, Turkey, Russia, and Georgia have produced 16, 13 and 11 players respectively.
Including the United States, 94 countries have produced at least one NBA player in total.
