† 2024 Ivy League tournament winner

The 2023–24 Princeton Tigers men's basketball team represented Princeton University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Tigers, led by 12th-year head coach Mitch Henderson, played their home games at Jadwin Gymnasium in Princeton, New Jersey as members of the Ivy League.

Previous season

The Tigers finished the 2022–23 season 23–9, 10–4 in Ivy League play to finish as Ivy League regular season co-champions. In the Ivy League tournament, they defeated Penn in the semifinals and Yale in the championship game, earning the Ivy League's automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. In the NCAA tournament, they received the #15 seed in the South Region. In the first round, they upset #2 seed Arizona, earning the Tigers their first NCAA tournament win since 1998. In the second round, they continued their winning ways, upsetting #7 seed Missouri, marking the 3rd consecutive tournament, and 4th overall, that a #15 seed advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. That's where their run would end, losing to Creighton.
