The 2023–24 Bellarmine Knights men's basketball team represented Bellarmine University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Knights, led by 19th-year head coach Scott Davenport, played their home games at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN). They finished the season 8–23, 4–11 in ASUN play to finish in last place. They failed to qualify for the ASUN tournament.

The Knights were in the final year of a four-year transition from Division II to Division I, making the 2023–24 season the final season that they were ineligible for the NCAA tournament.

This was also the Knights' final season at Freedom Hall. Near the start of the 2024–25 school year, which coincided with the end of Bellarmine's transition to Division I, the school announced that home games would return to campus at Knights Hall.[1]

Previous season

The Knights finished the 2022–23 season 15–18, 9–9 in ASUN play to finish in a tie for seventh place.[2] They defeated North Florida in the first round of the ASUN tournament,[3] before falling to Liberty in the quarterfinals.[4]
