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.
