The 2024–25 SMU Mustangs men's basketball team represented Southern Methodist University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Mustangs, led by first-year head coach Andy Enfield, played their home games at Moody Coliseum on their campus in University Park, Texas as first-year members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

On March 21, 2024, the school fired head coach Rob Lanier after two seasons. On April 1, the school named USC head coach Andy Enfield the team's new head coach.

Enfield's tenure started with three wins over non-Power 4 opponents. The team then struggled before their Thanksgiving tournament, going 1–2 over three games, losing to Butler and Mississippi State while defeating Prairie View A&M. They traveled to Palm Springs to participate in the Acrisure Holiday Invitational. There they defeated Cal Baptist by two points and Washington State 77–60 to finish as tournament champions. This started a stretch where SMU won seven straight games. Other notable wins over this stretch included their ACC opener against Virginia, a neutral site victory over LSU and another ACC win over Boston College. Their streak was broken when fourth-ranked Duke defeated the team 89–62. The Mustangs also lost their next game against North Carolina before winning their next three games. Their streak was broken with a loss to twenty-fifth ranked Louisville. The Mustangs won their next five games to hold a 10–3 ACC record. The streitch included road wins over NC State and Virginia Tech, and wins over fellow ACC newcomers Stanford and California. However, SMU couldn't carry the momentum through to the end of the season, as they went 3–4 over their final seven games of the regular season.
