OKK Sloboda Tuzla is a Bosnian basketball club that currently competes in the Basketball Championship of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
OKK Sloboda Tuzla was founded in 2009 as a youth branch of KK Sloboda Tuzla. After the original club ceased operations in 2011, the new club started to compete as they entered the A2 League for the 2011–12 season. They went on to win the 2012 A2 League championship and were subsequently promoted to the A1 Liga for the 2012–13 season. Sloboda finished second on the ladder in 2012–13 with a win/loss record of 18-4, and went on to lose in the championship deciding game to number 1 seeded OKK Spars Sarajevo by 10 points.
In 2013, OKK Sloboda Tuzla were promoted to the Basketball Championship of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the 2013–14 season, returning to the top division for the first time since the 2010–11 season. For their return season to the Bosnian first league, Sloboda signed rookie head coach Damir Mulaomerović. He helped lead them to a fourth-place finish and subsequently earned himself a contract extension for the 2014–15 season.
The club plays its home games at SKPC Mejdan in Tuzla. Mejdan has two halls, one small and one big, with most games being played in the bigger hall that has a capacity of 4,900 spectators and sometimes in the smaller one that has a capacity of 800 for basketball matches.
