The 2023–24 Queens Royals men's basketball team represented the Queens University of Charlotte during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Royals, led by second-year head coach Grant Leonard, played their home games at Curry Arena located in Charlotte, North Carolina, as second-year members of the ASUN Conference. They finished the season 13–18, 7–9 in ASUN play, to finish in eighth place. As the No. 8 seed in the ASUN tournament, they defeated Florida Gulf Coast in the first round before losing to Stetson in the quarterfinals.

This season marked Queens' second year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Royals are not eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season.[1]
