Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023–24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's basketball team represented the University of Notre Dame, located in Notre Dame, Indiana, in the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was led by head coach Micah Shrewsberry in his first season as head coach and played home games at the on-campus Joyce Center as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

The Fighting Irish started off the season 2–2 including a win in overtime over Oklahoma State in their early season tournament, the Legends Classic. The team won one game before losing to South Carolina in the ACC–SEC Challenge and number 8 Miami (FL) in their opening ACC game. Another win came before a three-game losing streak. The Fighting Irish lost to number 8 Marquette and in overtime to Georgetown. The team then won three of its next five including an overtime victory over Georgia Tech. During this stretch, they also lost to number 14 Duke. After the Georgia Tech win, the Fighting Irish went on a seven-game losing streak which included another loss to Duke when Duke was ranked ninth. The Fighting Irish rebounded by winning five of their next six, with their only loss coming at Syracuse. They could not carry the momentum into their final two games as they lost to number seven North Carolina and Virginia Tech to close out the regular season.

The Fighting Irish finished the season 13–20 and 7–13 in ACC play to finish in a tie for twelfth place. As the twelfth seed in the ACC tournament, they defeated thirteenth seed Georgia Tech in the First Round before losing to fifth seed Wake Forest in the Second Round. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament or the NIT.
