Travis Cortez Mays (born June 19, 1968) is an American basketball coach and former professional player, who was selected by the Sacramento Kings in the 1st round (14th overall pick) of the 1990 NBA draft. Born in Ocala, Florida, he played basketball for Vanguard High School before enrolling at The University of Texas to compete for the Longhorns. After his time in the NBA, Mays played professional basketball in several leagues in Europe.

Mays went to Vanguard High School where he was a scholastic All-America standout, and he then proceeded to play basketball for The University of Texas. Mays and teammates Lance Blanks and Joey Wright were known as the "BMW – The Ultimate Scoring Machine" during the 1989–90 basketball season. That Longhorn team advanced to the Elite Eight in the 1990 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.

Mays ranks second in UT men's basketball all-time scoring (2,279 points) and also is second in Southwest Conference all-time scoring. He was the first player to earn back-to-back SWC Player of the Year honors. Mays' career scoring average was 18.4 points per game. He scored in double-figures in 100 of 124 career games and was the only UT men's player in history to score more than 700 points in a season at the end of his Longhorn career, having scored 743 points as a junior and 772 as a senior. His single-season scoring record has subsequently been broken by Kevin Durant. In the 1989-90 season that ended in the Elite Eight, Mays had a scoring average of 24.1 points per game as a senior. In 2002, he was inducted into the UT Men's Athletics Hall of Honor.
