The 2016–17 BYU Cougars men's basketball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. It was head coach Dave Rose's twelfth season at BYU and the Cougars sixth season in the West Coast Conference. The Cougars played their home games at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah. They finished the season 22–12, 12–6 in WCC play to finish in third place. They defeated Loyola Marymount in the quarterfinals of the WCC tournament to advance to the semifinals where they lost to Saint Mary's. They were invited to the National Invitation Tournament where they lost in the first round to Texas–Arlington.
As a result of a scandal surrounding inappropriate benefits received by BYU starting guard Nick Emery from a BYU booster, the NCAA vacated all of BYU's wins for the 2015–16 and 2016-17 seasons with the exception of a 2015 win over Weber State in which Nick Emery did not play.
