The 2023–24 Lindenwood Lions men's basketball team represented Lindenwood University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lions, led by fifth-year head coach Kyle Gerdeman, played their home games at the Hyland Performance Arena in St. Charles, Missouri as members of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC). They finished the season 9–22, 3–15 in OVC play to finish in last place. They failed to qualify for the OVC tournament.

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