The 2017–18 Northern Colorado Bears men's basketball team represented the University of Northern Colorado during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

The Bears were led by second-year head coach Jeff Linder and played their home games at Bank of Colorado Arena in Greeley, Colorado as members of the Big Sky Conference.

They defeated Northern Arizona and Weber State to advance to the semifinals of the Big Sky tournament to Montana.

They were invited to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament where they defeated Drake, San Diego, Sam Houston State and UIC to become CIT champions.

On October 8, 2016, the school self-imposed a postseason ban amid an ongoing NCAA investigation.
