The 1943–44 Washington Huskies men's basketball team represented the University of Washington for the 1943–44 NCAA college basketball season. Led by 24th-year head coach Hec Edmundson, the Huskies were members of the Pacific Coast Conference and played their home games on campus at the UW Pavilion in Seattle, Washington.

The Huskies were 26–6 overall in the regular season and 15–1 in conference play; first in the Northern division.[1][2][3]

Washington's only conference loss was at Idaho in the penultimate game.[4][5] There was no conference playoff series this year and the Huskies did not play in the eight-team NCAA tournament.
