Arnold Jacob „Red“ Auerbach (* 20. September 1917 in New York City, New York; † 28. Oktober 2006 in Washington, D.C.) war ein US-amerikanischer Basketballtrainer. Er trainierte zwischen 1950 und 1966 die Mannschaft der Boston Celtics und gewann neun Meisterschaften. Erst im Jahr 2009 gelang es Phil Jackson, diese Marke zu überbieten. Nach seiner Aufnahme in die Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame als Coach 1969 ehrte man Auerbach 1980 als besten Trainer der NBA-Geschichte. Er wurde 1996 anlässlich des 50-jährigen Bestehens der NBA von ausgewählten Journalisten unter die 10 Greatest Coaches in NBA History gewählt. Sein Markenzeichen war es, kurz vor Ende eines erfolgreichen Spiels eine Zigarre zu rauchen.
