The North Melbourne Giants were an Australian basketball team, that played in Melbourne, Victoria, in the National Basketball League. The team was formed in 1980 as the Coburg Giants and were renamed in 1987 as North Melbourne. After a succesful run in the league, with two championships and four grand final appearances, the club merged with a cross-town rival, the South East Melbourne Magic, for the 1998/99 season. The resulting Victoria Titans were as successful as their predecessors, but after succumbing to financial difficulties were rebranded the Victoria Giants in 2002 and ultimately folded as such in 2004.
