50 najvećih igrača u historiji NBA-lige (50 Greatest Players in National Basketball Association History) izabrano je 1996. Ovaj spisak predstavlja 50 najvećih i najutjecajnijih igrača u prvih 50 godina NBA-lige. Glavna obilježja ovih igrača jesu njihova sposobnost vođenja ekipe i igrački doprinos kojim su obogatili NBA-ligu. U isto vrijeme izabrano je i 10 najboljih trenera i 10 najboljih ekipa. Spisak je u oktobru 1996. u New Yorku objavio povjerenik NBA-lige David Stern. U vrijeme objave samo 10 igrača bilo je aktivno; posljedni aktivni igrač s ovog spiska bio je Shaquille O'Neal, koji se povukao na kraju sezone 2010/11.
