The 1989–90 Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team represented the University of Wisconsin as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1989–90 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was coached by Steve Yoder, in his eighth season with Wisconsin. The Badgers finished 14–17, 4–14 in Big Ten play to finish in eighth place.
Offseason Yoder's top assistant Brad McNulty, suspended without pay since August 1, 1989, was fired just prior to his eighth season at Wisconsin for billing personal phone calls to the university from January 1988 to May 1989. McNulty made 51 calls to Nevada hotel casinos, which cost the university over $2,000 and resulted in a felony charge.
