The 2007–08 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team was an NCAA Division I college basketball team competing in the Big East Conference representing Georgetown University. The team finished with a regular-season record of 27–5, and won the conference regular-season title on March 8, 2008, the first time Georgetown ever won the Big East Conference regular-season championship in consecutive years and the only time it did in the original Big East Conference of 1979-2013. It lost to Pittsburgh in the Big East Tournament championship game. It was a number two seed in the 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, where it lost its second-round game to Davidson in a major upset. The team was ranked No. 11 in the final Associated Press Poll of the season and No. 12 in the postseason Coaches' Poll.

During the previous season, the Hoyas won both the Big East regular season championship and Big East Tournament championship and advanced all the way to the Final Four in the 2007 NCA Tournament, all for the first time for a Georgetown team since 1989. With four returning starters – senior center Roy Hibbert, senior point guard Jonathan Wallace, sophomore forward DaJuan Summers, and junior guard Jessie Sapp – Georgetown entered the 2007-08 season ranked No. 5, the Hoyas′ highest preseason ranking since 1995, even though 2007 Big East Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year forward Jeff Green had left Georgetown during the offseason to enter the National Basketball Association draft, foregoing his senior year. With Green gone, Hibbert became the centerpiece of Georgetown′s offense.
