The Nunawading Spectres are an Australian semi-professional basketball team from Nunawading, Victoria that plays in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL). The club formerly played in the National Basketball League (NBL) from 1979 to 1986 before becoming the Eastside Spectres in 1987. Eastside later merged with the Southern Melbourne Saints to become the South East Melbourne Magic in 1992.

In 1990, the Nunawading Spectres re-emerged with a men's team that entered the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL); a women's team also entered the SEABL in 1992. In 1995, the men's team tasted success for the first time with a CBA East Conference title. That same year, women's player Sue-Lynne Khor earned selection to the inaugural CBA women's all-star team. The men next had success in 2011 when they won both the SEABL South and overall SEABL championship with help from captain and Grand Final MVP Shane McDonald. In 2014, they were crowned SEABL East champions but failed to defeat the Mount Gambier Pioneers for the overall SEABL championship. In contrast with the men's team, success has thus far eluded the Nunawading women's team.
