† 2024 MAAC tournament winner

The 2023–24 Fairfield Stags men's basketball team represented Fairfield University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Stags, led by first-year head coach Chris Casey, played their home games at Leo D. Mahoney Arena in Fairfield, Connecticut as members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).

Previous season

The Stags finished the 2022–23 season 13–18, 9–11 in MAAC play, to finish in seventh place. They were defeated by Saint Peter's in the first round of the MAAC tournament.

On October 17, 2023, just weeks before the season opener, head coach Jay Young announced that he would be stepping down after four years as the team's head coach, with assistant coach Chris Casey immediately being named the interim head coach for the 2023–24 season.
