The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors basketball team represents the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in NCAA men's competition (women's sports teams at the school are known as "Rainbow Wahine"). The team currently competes in the Big West Conference after leaving its longtime home of the Western Athletic Conference in July 2012. The Rainbow Warriors have appeared six times in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, most recently in 2026.

The team got their first NCAA Tournament victory in 2016. The Rainbow Warriors are coached by Eran Ganot, with former NBA player Patty Mills serving as the team’s general manager.
