The 2005 FIBA Asia Champions Cup was the 16th staging of the FIBA Asia Champions Cup, the basketball club tournament of FIBA Asia. The tournament was held for the first time in three cities: Quezon City, Pasay City and Antipolo City, in the Philippines from May 29 to June 5, 2005, with the Final being held in Araneta Coliseum.

Al-Rayyan from Qatar became the second team to win multiple titles by first dethroning the defending three-time champion Sagesse from Lebanon in the thrilling overtime game in the Semifinals, and then surviving Fastlink from Jordan in the Finals. They had previously won the championship in the 2002 edition at Kuala Lumpur.
