The Far West Classic is a college basketball tournament held in Portland, Oregon. Founded in Corvallis, Oregon in 1956, the tournament moved to Portland in 1960 where it was held annually until 1990. It returned in 1991 with only four teams, as opposed to the eight teams that competed in prior Far West Classics. The tournament ceased in 1997, but was rebooted in 2015 as a five team round robin tournament. The Oregon State Beavers men's basketball team are the hosts of the tournament.
