BEAC Basketball is a Cameroonian basketball club based in Yaoundé. It is the basketball team of the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and played in the Elite Messieurs, the highest level in Cameroon.

BEAC has won national championships in 1995, 2002, 2003, 2009, 2017 and 2018. In 2018, the bank decided to shut down its basketball team due to financial trouble as there was a lot of pressure on Central African banks at that time. The team returned to play in 2021.

BEAC played in the 2016 FIBA Africa Clubs Champions Cup, where it finished in seventh place.
