The 2005 FIBA European Championship, commonly known as FIBA EuroBasket 2005, was the 34th FIBA EuroBasket regional basketball championship held by FIBA Europe. It also served as the European qualifier for the 2006 FIBA World Championship, awarding berths to the top six teams in the final standings. It was held in Serbia and Montenegro from 16 to 25 September 2005. Sixteen national teams entered the event under the auspices of FIBA Europe, the sport's regional governing body.
