Devin Armani Booker (born October 30, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played one season of college basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats, winning SEC Sixth Man of the Year before being drafted 13th overall by the Suns in the first round of the 2015 NBA draft. Booker is a five-time All-Star, a two-time All-NBA member, and is the Suns' all-time leading scorer. He has also won gold medals with the 2020 and 2024 U.S. Olympic teams.

The son of former basketball player Melvin Booker, Devin debuted with Phoenix at 18 years old and quickly became one of the league’s top scorers. At 20, he became the youngest player to score over 60 points in a game, finishing with a Suns franchise record 70 against the Boston Celtics. At 22 years old, he became the youngest player in NBA history with consecutive 50-point games. Booker helped lead the Suns to the NBA Finals in 2021 and earned All-NBA First Team honors in 2022 after a franchise-best 64-win season. In 2025, at 28, he became the Suns’ all-time leading scorer.
