The 2023–24 Ole Miss Rebels men's basketball team represented the University of Mississippi during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Rebels were led by first-year head coach Chris Beard. The Rebels played their home games at The Sandy and John Black Pavilion at Ole Miss in University, Mississippi, just outside Oxford, as members of the Southeastern Conference. The team posted their first 20-win season in five years but did not participate in any postseason tournaments, failing to qualify for the NCAA Tournament and subsequently declining an invitation to compete in the National Invitation Tournament.

Previous season The Rebels finished the 2022–23 season 12–21, 3–15 in SEC play to finish in 13th place. They lost in the second round of the SEC tournament to Tennessee after defeating South Carolina in the first round. Head coach Kermit Davis was fired with five games remaining on the schedule after a 74–79 record in five seasons at Ole Miss. Win Case served as interim for the remaining five games.

Former Texas head coach Chris Beard was hired on March 13, 2023. Beard was placed on leave by Texas following his December 12, 2022 arrest for assault against a family member by strangulation after an alleged altercation with his fiancée. He was fired on January 5, 2023. Charges were dropped on February 15 by the district attorney, due to case evidence and the wishes of his fiancée not to prosecute.
