1939–40 Akron Firestone Non-Skids season

The 1939–40 Akron Firestone Non-Skids season was the Akron Firestone Non–Skids' third year in the United States' National Basketball League (NBL), which was also the third year the league existed. Eight teams competed in the NBL, comprising four teams each in the Eastern and Western Divisions. The Non–Skids were one of two teams from Akron, Ohio in the league, the other being the Akron Goodyear Wingfoots.

The Non–Skids played their home games at Firestone Clubhouse. For the second season in a row, the Non-Skids finished the season with a league best record (19–9) and won the Eastern Division. They then went on to repeat as league champions, once again topping the Western Division's Oshkosh All-Stars, three games to two in a best-of-five series, for the second consecutive season.

Head coach Paul Sheeks repeated as the league's Coach of the Year Award. Players Soup Cable (First Team) and Jack Ozburn (Second Team) earned All-NBL honors for the second straight season as well.
