The Stanford Cardinal men's basketball team represents Stanford University in Stanford, California, United States. The school's team currently competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference. They play their home games at Maples Pavilion. Their head coach is Kyle Smith, as he replaced Jerod Haase who was fired on March 14, 2024 after going 126–127 over eight seasons.

Stanford began varsity intercollegiate competition in men's basketball in 1914.[2] The Cardinal have won 13 conference championships (8 in the PCC and 5 in the Pac-10), the last in 2004, and one NCAA championship, in 1942. Stanford was also retroactively recognized as the pre-NCAA tournament national champion for the 1936–37 season by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll and the Helms Athletic Foundation.[3] The team last played in the NCAA tournament in 2014.
