Western Kentucky Hilltoppers basketball statistical leaders

This is a list of individual statistical leaders of the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers basketball program in various categories,^[1] including points, assists, blocks, rebounds, and steals. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Hilltoppers represent Western Kentucky University in the NCAA's Conference USA.

Western Kentucky began competing in intercollegiate basketball in 1914.^[1] However, the school's record book does not generally list records from before the 1950s, as records from before this period are often incomplete and inconsistent. Since scoring was much lower in this era, and teams played much fewer games during a typical season, it is likely that few or no players from this era would appear on these lists anyway.

The NCAA did not officially record assists as a statistic until the 1983–84 season, and blocks and steals until the 1985–86 season, but Western Kentucky's record books includes players in these stats before these seasons. These lists are updated through the end of the 2020–21 season.
