The Last Amateurs is a book by John Feinstein. First published in 2000, the book chronicles the 1999-2000 Patriot League basketball season.

It emphasizes the efforts of the true scholar-athletes at the highly respected institutions that make up the league, where academics come first, and athletes play for love of the game rather than as a farm team for the NBA.

The 7 teams in the Patriot League at the time the book was written were Bucknell, Army, Navy, Lehigh, Lafayette, Holy Cross, and Colgate. American University has subsuquently joined the league.
