The Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team is the intercollegiate men's basketball program representing the University of Michigan. The school competes in the Big Ten Conference in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and play their home games at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Wolverines have won two NCAA Championships, three National Invitation Tournaments (NIT), 16 Big Ten regular season titles and four Big Ten tournaments. One NIT title and one Big Ten tournament were later vacated by the NCAA due to sanctions.

Michigan has had 36 All-Americans (1st, 2nd or 3rd team), on 49 total selections. Nine of these have been consensus first-team All-Americans, which are Cazzie Russell (twice), Rickey Green, Gary Grant, Chris Webber, Trey Burke, Yaxel Lendeborg, as well as Harry Kipke, Richard Doyle and Bennie Oosterbaan (twice), who were retroactively selected by the Helms Athletic Foundation. Twelve players have been honored as All-Americans at least twice, including Russell as the only three-time All-American.

Eighty-one players have been drafted into the National Basketball Association (NBA); thirty-five of those were first round draft picks, including both Cazzie Russell and Chris Webber who were selected first overall. The 1990 NBA draft, in which Rumeal Robinson was selected 10th, Loy Vaught was selected 13th, and Terry Mills was selected 16th made Michigan the third of only ten schools that have ever had three or more players selected in the first round of the same draft. Six have gone on to become NBA champions as players for a total of ten times and eight players have become NBA All-Stars a total of 18 times. Rudy Tomjanovich won both the 1994 and 1995 NBA championship as a coach. Glen Rice is one of only thirteen basketball players to have won a high school state championship, NCAA title and NBA championship.

During the 1990s Michigan endured an NCAA violations scandal, described as involving one of the largest amounts of illicit money in NCAA history, when Ed Martin loaned four players a reported total of $616,000. Due to sanctions, records starting in the 1992 Final Four, the 1992–93 season, and the 1995–96 season through the 1998–99 season were vacated by the NCAA. Throughout this article, asterisks denote awards, records and honors that have been vacated.
