† Conference tournament winner

The 2021–22 Montana State Bobcats men's basketball team represented Montana State University in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bobcats, led by third-year head coach Danny Sprinkle, played their home games at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse in Bozeman, Montana as members of the Big Sky Conference. They finished the regular season 24–7, 16–4 in Big Sky play to win the Big Sky regular season championship. As the No. 1 seed in the Big Sky tournament, they defeated Sacramento State, Weber State, and Northern Colorado, to win the tournament, and earned the Big Sky's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Given a No. 14 seed in the West Region of the NCAA Tournament, Montana State was defeated by Texas Tech in the first round.
