The 2021–22 St. Bonaventure Bonnies men's basketball team represented St. Bonaventure University during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bonnies, led by 15th-year head coach Mark Schmidt, played their home games at the Reilly Center in Olean, New York as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10). They finished the season 23–10, 12–5 in A-10 play, to finish in fourth place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the A-10 tournament to Saint Louis. They received an at-large bid to the National Invitation Tournament where they defeated Colorado, Oklahoma and Virginia to advance to the semifinals. There they lost to Xavier.

The Bonnies were ranked No. 23 in the preseason AP poll, the first time they had ever been ranked in the preseason AP poll.

Previous season In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Bonnies finished 2020–21 at 16–5, 11–4 in A-10 play, to win the regular-season A-10 championship. They defeated Duquesne, Saint Louis and VCU to win the A-10 tournament. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 9 seed in the East region. There they lost to LSU in the first round.

Offseason Coaching changes Assistant coach Tray Woodall left the Bonnies to join Fordham's coaching staff on July 21, 2021. On August 6, the school announced it had hired former UMass player and Texas–Rio Grand Valley assistant Chris Lowe to replace Woodall.
