The 2024–25 East Texas A&M Lions men's basketball team represented East Texas A&M University in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lions, led by seventh-year head coach Jaret von Rosenberg, played their home games at The Field House in Commerce, Texas as members of the Southland Conference. The Lions finished the 2024–25 season 5–26, 3–17 in conference play to finish in eleventh place. Failing to qualify for the SLC tournament, the Lions' season ended with a 63–59 victory over Houston Christian.

This season marked Texas A&M–Commerce's third year of an originally scheduled four–year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lions were not be eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season. However, the Division I Council is preparing to vote on a proposal to shorten the period for such a transition to three years. Should the proposal be approved in January 2025, the Lions would be eligible in 2025–26.

This was the first season for the university under its then-current identity. On November 7, 2024, after the Lions had played their first two games of the 2024–25 season, the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved the proposed change of the university's name to East Texas A&M University. The name change took effect immediately.
