The Yugoslavia men's national under-19 basketball team, commonly referred to as the Yugoslavia men's national junior basketball team (Serbo-Croatian: Mlada košarkaška reprezentacija Jugoslavije), was the boys' basketball team, administered by Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia, that represented SFR Yugoslavia in international under-19 (under age 19) men's basketball competitions, consisting mainly of the World Championship for Junior Men.

After the dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia in 1991, the successor countries all set up their own national under-19 teams. Serbia won the Championship in 2007.

Several members of the team have been inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame, including players Vlade Divac, Jure Zdovc and Toni Kukoč and coach Svetislav Pešić, while players Divac, Kukoč, and Dino Rađa are members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

In 2017, 250 Steps, a film about the 1987 gold medal, was released.
