1972-73 American Basketball Association season
Preseason n/a
Regular Season October 12, 1972-March 28, 1973
Postseason March 30-May 12, 1973
1971-72 • other seasons • 1973-74

The 1972-73 ABA season was the sixth season of the American Basketball Association. The Pittsburgh Condors and The Floridians had folded, leaving the league with nine teams. However, the ABA decided to (for the first and only time) award an expansion franchise to San Diego, California, named the San Diego Conquistadors. Subsequently, this meant that the Memphis Tams (formerly the Memphis Pros) would move to the Eastern Division. Once again, the best regular season team did not win the ABA Finals, with the Indiana Pacers winning the championship over the Kentucky Colonels.
