Trikala Aries B.C. (Greek: Τρίκαλα Αριεσ K.A.E.) is a Greek professional basketball club that is based in Trikala, Greece. The club was previously known as Aeolus Trikalon (Greek: Αίολος Τρικάλων).
Trikala Aries Basketball Club was founded in 1993, under the name Aeolus Trikalon Basketball Club. During the 2008–09 season, Aeolus failed to achieve a promotion place in their league, and qualify to the Greek B League (3rd-tier division on the Greek basketball pyramid). However, in the subsequent 2009–10 season, Aeolus managed to qualify.
In the next season, 2010–11, they finished in 9th place in the Greek B League. In 2012, the club changed its name to Trikala Basketball Club, abbreviated as Trikala B.C., and it then competed in the Greek Second Division, for the first time, during the 2012–13 season. In 2013, Greek company Aries became the official name sponsor of the team.
The club competed in the top-tier level Greek Basket League, for the first time, in the 2013–14 season. During their first season in the top level Greek League, Trikala finished in 11th place.
Trikala plays their home games at Trikala Municipal Sports Hall, which has a seating capacity of 2,500.
