Cooper Land (born November 10, 1988) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Rockingham Flames of the State Basketball League (SBL). He played college basketball for Wright State University before playing professionally in Norway, Germany, Australia and Japan.
Land attended Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Texas. As a junior in 2005–06, he averaged 10 points and five rebounds per game in helping his team finish with a 20–10 record. As a senior in 2006–07, he averaged 16 points and seven rebounds per game, as his team finished with a 29–7 record and made it to the state's Sweet 16.
Land played sparingly as a freshman at Wright State in 2007–08. In 33 games (no starts), he averaged 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game. As a sophomore in 2008–09, his playing time and production increased slightly. In 33 games (three starts), Land averaged 4.2 points and 1.9 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game.
Land's junior and senior seasons were both interrupted by injury: on February 8, 2010, he tore his ACL and subsequently missed the rest of the 2009–10 season; and in February 2011, he missed time due to another knee injury. As a junior, he averaged 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 16.6 minutes in 24 games, and as a senior, he averaged 8.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 25.7 minutes in 26 games (with 24 starts).

In August 2011, Land signed with Norwegian club Asker Aliens for the 2011–12 season. He helped Asker finish the regular season in second place on the ladder with a 15–6 record, and with a 66–61 win over the Tromsø Storm in the semi-finals, Asker moved on to the BLNO Final. There they were defeated 80–78 by Frøya Basket despite a 15-point effort from Land. He appeared and started in all 23 games for Asker in 2011–12, averaging 21.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
