FIBA EuroCup All-Star Day, or FIBA EuroChallenge All-Star Day, was the All-Star Game of the now defunct 3rd-tier level European-wide professional basketball league, the FIBA EuroChallenge tournament. It started in 2004, and lasted for five editions until 2008. The FIBA EuroCup All-Star Day was the first All-Star Game that was organised by FIBA after the FIBA EuroStars, and after the year 2000 conflict between FIBA and EuroLeague Basketball, which ultimately resulted in the current EuroLeague's take over of the previous FIBA EuroLeague.

The EuroCup All-Star Day event included a match between Europe and the Rest of the World All-Stars, a 3-point shootout contest, and a slam dunk contest in the 2007 edition. Lithuanian players Saulius Štombergas and Gintaras Einikis, were the only players that played in both the FIBA EuroStars, and also the FIBA EuroCup All-Star Day. Svetislav Pešić and Stanislav Eremin were the only coaches to be selected to both events.
