The 1933–34 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1933-34 NCAA Division I college basketball season. Fred Mesmer coached it in his third season as head coach. The team was a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate Conference (EIC) and played its home games at Tech Gymnasium on the campus of McKinley Technical High School in Washington, D.C. The team was the first of two winning teams during Mesmer's seven-season tenure, finishing with a record of 12-11 overall, 5-5 in the EIC.
Junior forward Ed Hargaden emerged as Georgetown's star player this season, especially during the latter part of the schedule. He scored 18 of the Hoyas' 30 points against Canisius, 15 of their 27 in an EIC game at Pittsburgh, 20 of their 53 points in a victory over Loyola of Maryland, and 15 of their 32 in a 32-28 win over EIC rival Carnegie Tech in the season finale. He finished the season with an average of 10.1 points per game – a considerable achievement in a low-scoring era – and was Georgetown's leading scorer for the second straight year, as he would be in all three seasons of his varsity career.
The team's 12-11 record gave Georgetown its best record since the 1929-30 season and its only winning record between the 1929-30 and 1936-37 seasons.
