The 2016–17 Western Michigan Chippewas men's basketball team represents Western Michigan University during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Broncos, led by 14th year head coach Steve Hawkins, play their home games at University Arena as members of the West Division of the Mid-American Conference.

Previous season

The Broncos finished the season 13–19 overall and 7–11 in MAC play to finish in last place in the West Division. They lost in the first round of the MAC Tournament to Northern Illinois.
