The 2018–19 Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team will represent Indiana University in the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Their head coach is Archie Miller, who will be in his second year as Indiana head coach. The team will play its home games at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana, as a member of the Big Ten Conference.

For Miller, his first season at IU wouldn’t be so much of a rebuilding job, as it would be a major remodeling job; starting with laying the foundation of a pack-line defense and valuing possessions. Early in the season, Miller stated practices were 75% defense, 25% offense. That scheme showed early and often, as the Hoosiers struggled mightily throughout the season to find any flow or rhythm on offense, despite the defense making leaps and bounds in the overall rankings of Division 1 basketball (final ranking of number one in the Big Ten Conference). As the season progressed toward its end, the Hoosiers bought into Miller’s defense, which led to better offense. With a surprising early second round loss in the 2018 Big Ten Tournament to Rutgers, 67–76, and losing enough games to keep them out of the NCAA tournament and NIT, including an early few they should have won against Indiana State and IPFW, IU’s first season under their new coach came to a disappointing close. They finished with an overall record of 16–15 and 9–9 in the Big Ten.

On April 12, 2018, junior forward Juwan Morgan announced he will enter the NBA draft, but not sign with an agent.
