The Princeton Tigers men's basketball team is the intercollegiate men's basketball program representing Princeton University.

As of 2023, the Tigers have amassed 1803 victories, 25 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament appearances (including four consecutive appearances between 1989 and 1992), and 30 Ivy League regular season titles. Their main Ivy League rivalry is with Penn.
Eight different Tigers have earned 12 All-American recognitions. Bill Bradley is the only three-time honoree. [2] Numerous Tigers have played professional basketball. The most recent Tiger NBAer was Steve Goodrich. [3] Geoff Petrie was the NBA Rookie of the Year in 1971, while Brian Taylor earned the same honor in the American Basketball Association in 1973. [3] [4] Two of the three Ivy Leaguers to have played in the Olympic games were Tigers. [5] Four of the eight NBA and ABA championships earned by Ivy League players have been earned by Tigers. [5] Three of the five highest NBA career point totals by Ivy League players were by Tigers. [5] Five of the ten Ivy League players selected among the top 25 overall selections in the NBA draft were Tigers. [5]
Carril holds the Ivy League record for most career seasons, championships, and wins. Bill Carmody holds the career winning percentage record. [6]
