The role of active consultant, or simply consultant, in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is the highest coaching role a foreign citizen could normally get in the top-flight professional basketball league due to the head coach role being restricted to Filipino citizens.

The employment of consultants by teams of the PBA has been viewed as a "loophole" to this ruling.
