The 2014–15 BYU Cougars men's basketball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. It was head coach Dave Rose's tenth season at BYU and the Cougars fourth season in the West Coast Conference. The Cougars once again played their home games at the Marriott Center. They finished the season 25–10, 13–5 in WCC play to finish in a tie for second place. They advanced to the championship game of the WCC Tournament where they lost to Gonzaga. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament where they lost in the First Four to Ole Miss.
BYU has signed five recruits for the 2014-15 season. Two of BYU's recruits will head out on their missions immediately and return for the 2016-17 season. Ryan Andrus, Jake Toolson, and Dalton Nixon will play at least one season before heading out on missions.

After returning in the winter and greyshirting, Isaac Neilson will begin his first full season of playing games for the Cougars. Jordan Chatman also returns from his mission and after a summer of working out will be able to play for the Cougars immediately. The Cougars also received surprising news in July. After growing to 6' 10" on his mission, Corban Kaufusi would choose to play basketball instead of football.

BYU introduces three new faces from transfers to the 2013-14 roster. Chase Fischer will be eligible to play immediately after sitting out as a redshirt from Wake Forest all last season. Jamal Aytes will be eligible to start playing for the Cougars after the fall semester ends, near the end of December. Kyle Davis also transferred from Utah State and will redshirt the 2014-15 season.
