The 2000–01 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University in the 2000–2001 NCAA Division I basketball season. The Hoyas were coached by Craig Esherick and played most of their home games at the MCI Center in Washington, DC, although they played some home games early in the season at McDonough Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus. The Hoyas were members of the West Division of the Big East Conference. They finished the season 25-8, 10-6 in Big East play. Their record earned them a bye in the first round of the 2001 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament, but they lost to Seton Hall in the quarterfinals. The first Georgetown men's basketball team to appear in the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament since the 1996-97 season and the last one to do so until the 2005-06 season, they reached the West Region semifinals of the 2001 NCAA Tournament before losing to Maryland.

Beginning this season, the Big East organized its teams into divisions for the second time in its history; this time, the two divisions were the East and West divisions. Georgetown would play as a member of the West Division for three seasons before the conference again scrapped its divisional structure after the end of the 2002–03 season.
