† 2024 Horizon League tournament winner

The 2023–24 IUPUI Jaguars men's basketball team represented Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis in the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Jaguars, led by third-year head coach Matt Crenshaw, played their home games at Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis, Indiana as members of the Horizon League. They finished the season 6–25, 2–18 in Horizon League play to finish in tenth place. As the No. 10 seed in the Horizon League tournament, they lost Cleveland State in the first round.

This was the final season for IUPUI as an institution. In August 2022, the Indiana University and Purdue University systems announced that they would dissolve IUPUI at the end of the 2023–24 academic year, with the vast majority of academic programs moving to the new Indiana University Indianapolis and a few programs becoming affiliated with Purdue. The athletic program transferred to the new IU Indianapolis, with an athletic branding of IU Indy.

Previous season

The Jaguars finished the 2022–23 season 5–27, 2–18 in Horizon League play to finish in tenth in the conference. They lost in the first round of the Horizon League tournament to Robert Morris.
