Maroussi B.C. (Greek: K.A.E. Μαρούσι) sometimes translated as GS Amaroussi, is a professional basketball club that is based in Marousi, a northern suburb of Athens in Greece.
The club played for many years in the top-tier level Greek Basket League, but was demoted to the third-tier semi-professional Greek B Basket League following severe financial difficulties, and was then relegated to the fourth-tier level Greek C League for the 2015–16 season.
The multi-sports club Gymnastikos Syllogos Amarousiou (Amarousi Sports Club) was founded in 1896, the same year that Maroussi native Spyridon Louis won the Olympic marathon at the 1896 Summer Olympics. The club's men's basketball section started in 1950.
The basketball section played in the Greek minor leagues for the first two decades of its existence. It reached the Greek top division, the A National Category (Alpha League) in 1969, where it played for one season before being relegated.
In the 1970s, Nikos Darivas played for the club as point guard and Dimitris Fosses as a center, and starting with the 1971–72 season, the club played in the Greek top division for all but one year of the following decade. Maroussi qualified for the European third-tier level Korać Cup's 1978–79 season.
