Austin James Rivers (born August 1, 1992) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rivers led Winter Park High School to back-to-back Florida 6A state championships in 2010 and 2011. He also played in the 2011 Nike Hoop Summit for the Team USA, and was a McDonald's All-American.

He was one of the top rated high school basketball players in the class of 2011, being rated as high as No. 1 by Rivals.com. In September 2010, Rivers committed to Duke University. In the 2012 NBA draft, he was selected with the 10th overall pick by the New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans), playing three seasons there before being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. After three years with the Clippers, Rivers was traded to the Washington Wizards in June 2018. In December of the same year, he joined the Houston Rockets.

On January 16, 2015, Rivers became the first player in NBA history to play for his father, coach Doc Rivers, then-head coach of the Clippers.
