† 2022 Horizon League tournament winner

The 2021–22 Wright State Raiders men's basketball team represented Wright State University in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Raiders, led by sixth-year head coach Scott Nagy, played their home games at the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio as members of the Horizon League. They finished the season 22–14, 15–7 in Horizon League Play to finish in fourth place. As the No. 4 seed, they defeated Oakland, Cleveland State, and Northern Kentucky to win the Horizon League tournament. They received the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 16 seed in the South Region, where they defeated Bryant in the First Four before losing in the first round to Arizona.
