Texas A&M Men's tennis

The Texas A&M Aggies men's tennis team represents the Texas A&M University in NCAA Division I intercollegiate men's tennis competition. They compete in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

The team began play in 1948, under Head Coach W.M. Dowell. They have made the tournament 22 times, and reached the semifinals in 2018.

The Aggies are currently led by Head Coach Steve Denton. During his tenure, Texas A&M have qualified for the NCAA tournament every year except for 2020 which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also during his tenure, the Aggies won their only NCAA doubles championship, which was accomplished by Jeff Dadamo and Austin Krajicek in 2011. Denton has been named conference coach of the year four times (2009, 2011, 2014, and 2015).
