De Boston Celtics is een basketbalteam uit de National Basketball Association, gevestigd in Boston, Massachusetts. Ze hebben een recordaantal van 17 NBA-titels gewonnen. De Boston Celtics maken deel uit van de Atlantic Division in de Eastern Conference. Ze spelen tegenwoordig hun thuismatchen in de TD Garden.
Tussen 1959 en 1969 onder de legendarische coach Red Auerbach domineerden zij de NBA, en wonnen acht opeenvolgende titels tussen 1959 en 1966, waarbij zij herhaaldelijk hun rivalen uit het Westen, de Los Angeles Lakers, in de finale versloegen. De beste speler van de ploeg was op dat moment Bill Russell
In de jaren 1980 beleefden de Celtics nieuwe hoogdagen; met sterspelers als Larry Bird, Robert Parish en Kevin McHale haalden ze vijfmaal de NBA Finals, en wonnen die in 1981, 1984 en 1986.
In 2008 kwamen Kevin Garnett en Ray Allen de Celtics vervoegen en vormden samen met Paul Pierce de 'Big Three'. Zij wonnen met Celtics meteen de NBA-titel, 22 jaar na de vorige titel, door de Los Angeles Lakers met 4 - 2 te verslaan in de finaleserie, Paul Pierce was finals-MVP. In 2012 kwam abrupt een einde aan de 'Big Three', want Ray Allen verhuisde naar de grote rivaal Miami Heat.
