The 2018–19 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team will represent the University of Michigan during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wolverines, led by head coach John Beilein in his twelfth year, will play their home games for the 52nd consecutive year at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This season will mark the program's 103rd season and its 102nd consecutive year as a member of the Big Ten Conference.

The team is coming off of the winningest season in school history and a runner-up finish in the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. The entering class includes Brandon Johns and David DeJulius, who finished second and third respectively in the 2018 Mr. Basketball of Michigan voting. The departing class includes graduating senior captains Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman and Duncan Robinson who had completed their eligibility, along with graduate transfer Jaaron Simmons. In addition, Charles Matthews and Moritz Wagner declared for the 2018 NBA draft. Sophomores Brent Hibbits and Ibi Watson transferred out of the program. Michigan will look to defend their Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament championship for the third year in a row. The team is also coming off a six year stretch tied with North Carolina for most NCAA tournament wins in the nation with 16.

The Wolverines, who finished the 2017–18 season 33–8, were 13–5 in Big Ten play to finish in a tie for fourth. As the No. 5 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, they defeated Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan State, and Purdue to win the tournament championship. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. As the No. 3 seed in the West region, they defeated Montana, Houston, Texas A&M, and Florida State to advance to the Final Four. In the National semifinal, they defeated Loyola–Chicago before losing to Villanova in the championship game.
