The National Professional Basketball League, often abbreviated to the NPBL, was an American men's professional basketball minor league featuring teams from the East Coast of the United States which played for two seasons.

A few of the teams in the NPBL have left and joined the Eastern Basketball Alliance (EBA). The 2009 season never was played. Initially the league's plan was to move the season to the fall and winter during the more traditional basketball season, but the season was never played. There is no additional information on if and when the league will continue.
