The 1994 FIBA World Championship was an international basketball competition hosted by Canada from August 4 to August 14, 1994. The tournament was held at the Skydome and Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario as well as at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario. The hosting duties were originally awarded to Belgrade, FR Yugoslavia, but after United Nations imposed a trade embargo on the Balkan country, Toronto stepped in as a replacement option in 1992.

The tournament was won by the United States - Dream Team II, who beat Russia 137-91 in the Final. The United States finished with a perfect 8-0 record (8 wins and 0 losses). The bronze medal was won by Croatia who beat Greece 78-60 in the bronze-medal game.
