The 1944–45 William & Mary Indians men's basketball team represented the College of William & Mary in intercollegiate basketball during the 1944–45 NCAA men's basketball season. Under the second, and final, year of head coach Rube McCray (who concurrently served as the head football coach), the team finished the season 7–10 and 3–4 in the Southern Conference.
