The 2020–21 Sam Houston State Bearkats men's basketball team represented Sam Houston State University in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bearkats, led by 11th-year head coach Jason Hooten, played their home games at the Bernard Johnson Coliseum in Huntsville, Texas.

The season was the Bearkats' last as members of the Southland Conference; Sam Houston is one of four schools, all from Texas, that left the Southland in July 2021 to join the Western Athletic Conference.
