The 2017–18 Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team represented the University of Pittsburgh during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Panthers were led by second-year head coach Kevin Stallings and played their home games at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Panthers entered the season as one of the most inexperienced teams in NCAA Division I. ESPN's Andrea Adelson summed up the team's situation in a February 2018 piece:

Both he [Stallings] and those inside the program prepared for a rocky 2017–18: They had an NCAA-high 11 newcomers, zero returning starters and three total players with NCAA Division I experience on the roster when camp opened. That is not merely rebuilding; that is starting over with nothing to build off.

They finished with the worst season in program history, going 8–24 overall and 0–18 in ACC play, finishing last in the conference and losing in the first round of the ACC tournament to Notre Dame. On March 8, 2018, Pitt fired Stallings. On March 27, Pitt hired Duke assistant coach Jeff Capel as head coach.
