The 2017–18 Delaware State Hornets men's basketball team represented Delaware State University during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

The Hornets, led by fourth-year head coach Keith Walker, played their home games at Memorial Hall in Dover, Delaware as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

They lost every game on the road and on a neutral court, with both of their non-conference victories coming against non-Division I schools.

They had the dubious distinction of finishing the season 351st in RPI out of the 351 teams in the NCAA.
