The 2018–19 Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team will represent the University of Minnesota in the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Gophers will be led by sixth-year head coach Richard Pitino and will play their home games at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minnesota as members of the Big Ten Conference.

The Golden Gophers finished the 2017–18 season 15–17, 4–14 in Big Ten play to finish in a three-way tie for 11th place. As the No. 11 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, they lost in the first round to Rutgers.

The 2018–19 season will mark the first time in Big Ten history that the teams will play a 20-game conference schedule, setting a precedent for all Division I basketball. The new schedule will also include a regional component to increase the frequency of games among teams in similar areas. Over the course of a six-year cycle (12 playing opportunities), in-state rivals will play each other 12 times, regional opponents will play 10 times, and all other teams will play nine times. Three in-state series will be guaranteed home-and-homes: Illinois and Northwestern, Indiana and Purdue, and Michigan and Michigan State will always play twice.
