The 2016–17 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team represents the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team's head coach is Roy Williams, who is in his 14th season as UNC's head men's basketball coach. The Tar Heels will play their home games at the Dean Smith Center as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Tar Heels finished the 2015–16 season with a record of 33–7, 14–4 in ACC play to finish in first place, winning their 30th ACC regular season title. The Tar Heels also won their 18th ACC Tournament Championship by beating Virginia in the finals 61–57. They received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed. There, they defeated Florida Gulf Coast, Providence, Indiana, and Notre Dame to earn a trip to the Final Four, the school's 19th Final Four. In a matchup against fellow ACC foe, Syracuse, the Tar Heels easily won 83–66 to advance to the National Championship against Villanova. Despite a circus shot by Marcus Paige to tie the game at 74 with less than five seconds remaining, the Tar Heels lost on a three pointer as time expired.
