The 2016–17 Ivy League men's basketball season marked the continuation of the annual tradition of competitive basketball among Ivy League members. The tradition began when the league was formed during the 1956–57 season and its history extends to the predecessor Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League, which was formed in 1902.
Princeton earned the league title after finishing the regular season 14–0 within the Ivy League. Princeton earned the league's bid to the 2017 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament after defeating Pennsylvania in the semifinals and Yale in the finals of the inaugural conference tournament.
Spencer Weisz of Princeton was named Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year.{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/conferences/ivy/men/2017.html|title=2016-17 Men's Ivy League Season|accessdate=March 23, 2024}}
