The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Eastern Conference Central Division of the league.

The team was founded in 1968 as an expansion team, and they play their home games at the Fiserv Forum.

Former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl long owned the team, but on April 16, 2014, a group led by billionaire hedge fund managers Wes Edens and Marc Lasry agreed to buy a majority stake in the Kohl team, a sale that was approved by the NBA owners and its Board of Governors a month later on May 16. The team is led by Jon Horst, the team's former director of basketball operations, who took over from John Hammond in May 2017.

The Milwaukee Bucks have won one league title (1971), two conference titles (1971 and 1974) and 14 division titles (1971-1974, 1976, 1980-1986, 2001, 2019). They have featured such notable players as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sidney Moncrief, Oscar Robertson, Bob Dandridge, Bob Lanier, Glenn Robinson, Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, Junior Bridgeman, Michael Redd, Terry Cummings, Vin Baker, Jon McGlocklin, Marques Johnson , and Brian Winters.

Abdul-Jabbar and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been named the NBA's Most Valuable Player while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, for a total of four MVP awards.
