The Beşiktaş-Fenerbahçe rivalry are the basketball (men's and women's) matches between Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe, two clubs representing the city of Istanbul.

Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe Men's Basketball Teams have played against each other 161 times since 1945. Fenerbahçe won 109 of these matches and Beşiktaş won 52 of these matches. Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe Women's Basketball Teams have played each other 129 times since 1956, of these matches Fenerbahçe won 97, and Beşiktaş and 32.

Beşiktaş's men's basketball department were founded in 1933, before being halted in 1936, and then resuming once again in 1940. Since then, Beşiktaş have played in the Turkish Basketball Super League, in every season, except in the 1988–89 season, due to their relegation to the Turkish Basketball First League after the 1987–88 season. The club won the Turkish Super League, under the management of Ateş Çubukçu and Tom Davis, in the 1974–75 season.

The men's basketball department of Fenerbahçe were founded in 1913 and achieved considerable success when the sport established itself in Turkey. Fenerbahçe won national championship titles in 1957, 1959 and 1965, just before the Turkish League was founded in 1966, and participated in the European Champions Cup in 1960 and 1966. Their fans had to wait until 1991 for another title, when Levent Topsakal, Larry Richard and head coach Çetin Yılmaz led Fenerbahçe to the Turkish League title over Tofaş.[1]
