Associazione Sportiva Stella Azzura (English: Blue Star) is an amateur basketball club based in Rome, Lazio. It plays in the third division Serie B as of the 2015-16 season.
Stella Azzura was founded in 1938 by youngsters playing on a pitch in the courtyard of the Collegio San Giuseppe - Istituto De Merode in Rome. The side played in the first division Serie A from 1954 to 1966, then for two other seasons before another period from 1974 to 1980, dispearing from the professional leagues after being relegated from the Serie A2 in 1982.
