The 2010–11 Richmond Spiders men's basketball team represented the University of Richmond in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college basketball during the 2010–11 season. Richmond competed as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) under sixth-year head basketball coach Chris Mooney and played its home games at the Robins Center.
After finishing in third place in the Atlantic 10 during the regular season, Richmond defeated the University of Dayton to win the 2011 Atlantic 10 men's basketball tournament. With the championship, Richmond was awarded an automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, where it received a 12-seed and defeated Vanderbilt in the second round of the tournament before eliminating Morehead State in the third round.
