The Nebraska Cornhuskers men's tennis team represents the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the Big Ten Conference. The program was established in 1928 and has made the NCAA Championship twice, most recently in 2011. Five Cornhuskers have won conference championships, and seventeen have been named all-conference selections. In 1989, Steven Jung was the NCAA Singles runner-up and was named NU's first All-American. Jung is the only men's tennis player in the Nebraska Athletic Hall of Fame.

Assistant Peter Kobelt was named interim head coach of the program following the departure of Sean Maymi in 2023. In 2024, Nebraska Athletic Director Troy Dannen named Kobelt the 12th permanent head coach of the team.
