† 2017 SoCon Tournament winner

The 2016–17 Wofford Terriers men's basketball team represented Wofford College during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Terriers, led by 15th-year head coach Mike Young, played their home games at the Benjamin Johnson Arena in Spartanburg, South Carolina as members of the Southern Conference. They finished the season 16–17, 10–8 in SoCon play to finish in a tie for fourth place.
