The Milton Keynes Breakers are a basketball club based in the city of Milton Keynes, England. The club was founded in 2017, adding the Breakers name in 2022, after the famous Bletchley Codebreakers.

The senior men's team entered the National Basketball League in 2022, marking the return of basketball to the city of Milton Keynes for the first time since the Milton Keynes Lions, who played in the British Basketball League from 1998 to 2012, moved to London. In the 2023/24 senior men's national cup, they became the first non-division 1 team to win the competition in over 50 years.

The club competes in junior National Basketball League competitions in all age groups for boys and girls, while also offering community basketball in 6 different local basketball centres with their own intra-club basketball league.

Additionally, the club provides a sixth form basketball academy, in collaboration with the 5 Dimensions Trust, competing in the College Basketball League (CBL).
