Stars of Space Jam is a collection of Looney Tunes VHS tapes released by Warner Home Video in 1996, made to promote the release of Space Jam. A Japanese LaserDisc of this set was released around the same time. Each tape/side featured six cartoons, most of which had not been made available on home video before. The series was discontinued around the time Looney Tunes Presents came out.

DVDs were re-released on October 9, 2018, though with some slight changes to the Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck releases.

  • In Europe, there is an additional VHS tape in the Stars of Space Jam series called Stars of Space Jam: Space Tunes. Unlike the other VHS tapes in this collection, which mainly focus on only one specific Looney Tunes character, it features a variety of Looney Tunes shorts based on the theme of outer space, including some Marvin the Martian cartoons. This tape was released on VHS in the United States as part of Looney Tunes Presents, and is referred to as Marvin the Martian: Space Tunes.
