The 2019–20 Northern Iowa Panthers men's basketball team represented the University of Northern Iowa during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

The Panthers, led by 14th-year head coach Ben Jacobson, played their home games at the McLeod Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa as members of the Missouri Valley Conference.

As a regular season conference champion who failed to win their conference tournament, they were set to receive an automatic bid to NIT.

However, all postseason tournaments were cancelled amid the coronavirus pandemic.

6 seed in the MVC tournament, they beat Southern Illinois and Drake before losing to Bradley in the championship.
