The Birmingham Bandits were a professional basketball team that played for only the 1991–92 season as a member of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA). Led by head coach Mo McHone, the Bandits played their home games at the Bill Harris Arena during their lone season.

History

The Bandits opened the season with a 118–114 loss at Quad City on November 8. In their first home game on November 12, the Bandits lost to the Tri-City Chinook, but then defeated the Albany Patroons on November 15 for their first all-time victory. After their loss to Bakersfield on November 30, Birmingham's leading scorer and Jackson-Olin High School alumnus Michael Ansley was signed by the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers.

On December 10, the Bandits general manager Jim Goodman resigned in part due to the poor attendance to home games. On December 18, Tom Maloney was named general manager.

Jim Farmer was selected as the only representative from the Bandits to the CBA All-Star game on January 22 at Yakima, Washington.
