The 2020–21 Hartford Hawks men's basketball team represented the University of Hartford in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They played their home games at the Chase Arena at Reich Family Pavilion in West Hartford, Connecticut and were led by 11th-year head coach John Gallagher. They finished the season 15-9, 8-6 in America East Play to finish in 4th place. They defeated Binghamton, Albany, Vermont, and UMass Lowell to be champions the America East tournament. They received the America East’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament for the first time where they lost in the first round to Baylor. This was their only time making the NCAA Tournament as a D1 school (the school would announce the demotion to D3 just 2 months later, making the move in 2023.)
