The 2023–24 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball team represented the Georgia Institute of Technology during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They were led by first-year head coach Damon Stoudamire and played their home games at Hank McCamish Pavilion as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Yellow Jackets started the season with two wins and two losses before completing two major upsets. They defeated twenty-first ranked Mississippi State in the ACC–SEC Challenge and seventh ranked Duke in their ACC opening game. They followed those upsets with a loss in their rivalry game to Georgia. From there, the team won four straight games including their first two games in the early season tournament, the Diamond Head Classic. Including the championship game of that tournament, the Yellow Jackets went on a five game losing streak. Duke defeated them while ranked eleventh in a rematch of their earlier game, and they pushed Notre Dame to over time, but could not prevail. An upset win over Clemson in double overtime broke the losing streak, but the team lost eight of their next nine games. The only win was over then third-ranked North Carolina. The Yellow Jackets finished the season well, winning four of their last six games. Their losses were to Clemson in a rematch of the previous upset and to Virginia on the final day of the season.

The Yellow Jackets finished the season 14–18 and 7–13 in ACC play to finish in a tie for twelfth place. As the thirteenth seed in the ACC tournament, they lost to thirteenth seed Notre Dame in the First Round. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament or the NIT.

Previous season

The Yellow Jackets finished the 2022–23 season 15–18, 6–14 in ACC play to finish in 13th place. In the ACC tournament, they defeated Florida State before losing to Pittsburgh in the second round.
