The 2023–24 Texas A&M–Commerce Lions men's basketball team represented Texas A&M University–Commerce in the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lions, led by sixth-year head coach Jaret von Rosenberg, played their home games at Texas A&M–Commerce Field House in Commerce, Texas, as members of the Southland Conference.
This season marked Texas A&M–Commerce's second year of an originally scheduled four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lions will not be eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season. However, the Division I Council is preparing to vote on a proposal to shorten the period for such a transition to three years. Should the proposal be approved in January 2025, the Lions would be eligible in 2025–26.
This was also the final full season for the university under its then-current identity. On November 7, 2024, after the Lions had played their first two games of the 2024–25 season, the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved the proposed change of the university's name to East Texas A&M University. The name change took effect immediately.
