Greek Basketball Championship career statistical leaders

Greek Basketball Championship career statistical leaders are the all-time stats leaders of the top-tier level Greek Basketball Championship, since the league first formed its A National Category, starting with the 1963–64 season. The all-time stats leaders are divided into separate categories, based on total stats counted since the A National Category of the league was first formed, beginning with the 1963–64 season, total stats counted since the A1 National Category was first formed, beginning with the 1986–87 season, and total stats counted since the 1992–93 season, when the league first became recognized by FIBA as a fully and entirely 100% professional league of basketball.

Only the stats since the 1992–93 season, when the league first became fully professional, are officially counted and recognized. All-time career stats leaders for the Greek Basketball League's history are only officially counted since the 1992–93 season (the professional era of the competition).
