List of Philippine Basketball Association retired numbers

Teams in the Philippine Basketball Association retire the jersey numbers of players who are attributed to the team's success. They are usually no longer available for future players to wear. Since there are no home arenas, numbers are rarely hung in arenas and, more often, teams award players with a framed jersey during the retirement ceremony.

As of 2026, seven of the twelve active teams have retired numbers. The San Miguel Beermen and the defunct Alaska Aces have retired seven numbers each, though three numbers from the former are not officially retired.

Two players have their numbers retired by multiple teams: Allan Caidic for Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and San Miguel Beermen, and Jeffrey Cariaso for Alaska and the Powerade Tigers.
