Panellinios B.C. (Greek: Πανελλήνιος K.A.E.) or Panellinios Basket, full name Panellinios B.C. Athens, is a professional basketball club that is located in Athens, Greece. The club was founded in 1929.[citation needed]

The name Panellinios can be translated as Pan-Hellenic in English, and can be interpreted to mean "The Greek Nation". B.C. stands for basketball club. So the club's name can be interpreted to mean "The National Basketball Club". The Greek multi-sports club Panathinaikos A.O. was founded by Panellinios G.S. athletes. The club was previously owned by the Greek businessman Minos Kyriakou.
