BC Enisey (Russian: ВК «Енисей») is a Russian professional basketball team from the city of Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Russia. Since the 2011–12 season, Enisey plays games in the VTB United League. The team plays its home games in the Arena Sever, which has a capacity of 4,000 people. The team colors are blue and white. The club's full name is Basketball Club Enisey Krasnoyarsk.
Enisey Krasnoyarsk was founded as Polytechnic, and played its games at the Krasnoyarsk State Technical University. The team started off in the lower leagues of the Soviet Union, and its best achievement was winning the USSR Cup for teams in Siberia in 1988. In the 1997–98 season, the team played at the highest Russian level for the first time, when it played in the Russian Super League 1. However, the club was relegated immediately, and the next comeback of the club to Russian the highest level was in 2007, when the team was promoted again, after being the Russian Super League 2 champions.
In the 2009–10 season, Enisey made its first appearance in a European-wise competition, when it competed in the FIBA EuroChallenge.
