The 2021–22 North Alabama Lions men's basketball team represented the University of North Alabama in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lions, led by third-year head coach Tony Pujol, played their home games at Flowers Hall in Florence, Alabama, as members of the West division of the ASUN Conference. They finished the season 9–21, 2–14 in ASUN play to finish in last place in the West division. They lost to Florida Gulf Coast in the first round of the ASUN tournament.

This season marked North Alabama's final year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lions were not eligible for NCAA postseason play.
