The 2000–01 Princeton Tigers men's basketball team represented Princeton University in intercollegiate college basketball during the 2000–01 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The head coach was John Thompson III and the team captain was Nate Walton. Prior to the season on September 7, Thompson replaced Northwestern-bound Bill Carmody, who had achieved the Ivy League's highest career winning percentage, as head coach. The team made the sixth of what would become seven consecutive postseason appearances.

Using the Princeton offense under first year coach Thompson, the team posted a 16–11 overall record and an 11–3 conference record. The season marked the thirteenth consecutive time and 31st of 33 that either Penn or Princeton had won or shared the Ivy League regular season title.

The team was led by first team All-Ivy League selection Walton and Ivy League Men's Basketball Rookie of the Year Konrad Wysocki. Future Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was a reserve on this team.
