† 2017 Big Ten Tournament winner As of January 29, 2017; Rankings from AP Poll

The 2016–17 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team represents the University of Michigan during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wolverines, led by head coach John Beilein in his tenth year, will play their home games for the 50th consecutive year at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This season marks the program's 101st season and its 100th consecutive year as a member of the Big Ten Conference.

The entering class included 2016 Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year and Ohio Mr. Basketball Xavier Simpson. The departing class included graduating seniors Caris LeVert and Spike Albrecht who were both injured midway through the prior season. Sophomores Aubrey Dawkins, Kameron Chatman and Ricky Doyle transferred out of the program. The team also lost assistant coaches Bacari Alexander and LaVall Jordan who had both been with the team for six seasons.

Caris LeVert and Spike Albrecht graduated during their senior seasons for the 2015–16 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team. Albrecht will use the graduate transfer option to play a fifth year at another school. Ricky Doyle announced he would transfer to another program for his final two seasons of eligibility. Due to NCAA transfer rules, he will have to sit out the 2016–17 season before becoming eligible. On April 1, Beilein decided not to restrict Doyle or Albrecht from transferring to schools within the Big Ten if they desired to do so. On April 6, 2016, Aubrey Dawkins transferred to play for the UCF Knights, where his father, Johnny Dawkins, had been named head coach two weeks prior. The following day, assistant coach LaVall Jordan, who had spent the prior 6 seasons with Michigan, was hired as the head coach of Milwaukee Panthers men's basketball. On April 20, the story broke that assistant coach Bacari Alexander, who had spent the prior 6 seasons with Michigan, would leave to be hired as the head coach of Detroit Titans men's basketball. On May 3, 2016, Albrecht announced he would play his final year of collegiate basketball for the Purdue Boilermakers. On that same day, Kameron Chatman announced his intention to transfer with two years of eligibility remaining. On May 4, Billy Donlon and Saddi Washington were named assistant head coaches. On May 17, Doyle announced his decision to play for the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, which became official 2 days later. On June 8, Chatman announced that he would transfer to play at Detroit under Alexander after sitting out one season.
