La Continental Basketball Association (CBA ) és una lliga professional de basquetbol masculina dels Estats Units .
La CBA fou fundada el 29 d'abril de 1946 , amb el nom d'Eastern Pennsylvania Basketball League (1946-47). Entre 1948 i 1970 fou denominada Eastern Professional Basketball League , i Eastern Basketball Association fins al 1978 . L'1 de juny d'aquest any el seu nom esdevingué Continental Basketball Association. Les arrels de la competició es troben a Pennsilvània , però la seu actual es troba a Albany (Nova York ).
El 1999 els clubs de la lliga van ser comprats per un grup inversor encapçalat per l'antic jugador de l'NBA Isiah Thomas . L'operació no resultà cap èxit i la CBA es declarà en fallida el febrer del 2001 . Alguns dels seus equips optaren per ingressar, breument, a l'International Basketball League . En finalitzar el 2001, els clubs de la CBA i la IBL s'uniren i recuperaren la competició de nou.
