Wheelchair basketball at the 1968 Summer Paralympics consisted of men's and women's team events.

The original wheelchair basketball classification system in 1966 had 5 classes: A, B, C, D, S. Each class was worth so many points. A was worth 1, B and C were worth 2. D and S were worth 3 points. A team could have a maximum of 12 points on the floor. This system was the one in place for the 1968 Summer Paralympics. Class A was for T1-T9 complete. Class B was for T1-T9 incomplete. Class C was for T10-L2 complete. Class D was for T10-L2 incomplete. Class S was for Cauda equina paralysis.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7rN99UWFOfAC|title=The 50th Anniversary of Wheelchair Basketball|last1=Thiboutot|first1=Armand|last2=Craven|first2=Philip|date=1996 |publisher=Waxmann Verlag|isbn=9783830954415}}
