The 2016–17 Western Michigan Broncos men's basketball team represented Western Michigan University during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

The Broncos, led by 14th-year head coach Steve Hawkins, played their home games at University Arena as members of the West Division of the Mid-American Conference.

They finished the season 16–16, 11–7 in MAC play to tie for first in the West Division.

However, due to not having a clear winner, Central Michigan retained the trophy that they won in 2014–15.
