The Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team is an NCAA Division I college basketball team competing in the Big Ten Conference, that represents the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The Illini play their home games at the State Farm Center, located on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's campus in Champaign. Illinois has two unofficial, retroactive national championship designations for the 1915 and 1943 seasons.

Illinois has appeared in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament 35 times, and has competed in 5 Final Fours, 10 Elite Eights, and has won 18 Big Ten regular season championships, and 4 Big Ten Tournament Championships.
The team is currently coached by Brad Underwood, who was hired on March 18, 2017. Through the end of the 2023–24 season, Illinois ranks 13th all-time in winning percentage and 13th all-time in wins among all NCAA Division I men's college basketball programs.
