The Canberra Gunners are an Australian basketball team based in Canberra. The Gunners compete in the Men's South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) and play their home games at Belconnen Stadium. The team is affiliated with Basketball ACT, the governing body for basketball in the Australian Capital Territory. Their sister team, the Canberra Capitals, play in the Women's SEABL.

In 1988, the Gunners made their debut in the SEABL. Former player Brad Barnes coached the Gunners to their first and so far only championship win in 2003 – a SEABL East Conference title. Canberra's NBL side, the Cannons, coincidentally folded in 2003, leaving the Gunners as the city's only elite male basketball team.[1]
