The 2023–24 Stonehill Skyhawks men's basketball team represented Stonehill College during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Skyhawks, led by 11th-year head coach Chris Kraus, played their home games at Merkert Gymnasium in Easton, Massachusetts as members of the Northeast Conference.

This season was Stonehill's second year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I.[1][2] As a result, the Skyhawks are not eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season.[3]

Previous season

The Skyhawks finished the 2022–23 season 14–17, 10–6 in NEC play to finish in a tie for second place.[4] Due to their transition to Division I, they were ineligible to participate in the NEC tournament.
