The 1945–46 William & Mary Indians men's basketball team represented the College of William & Mary in intercollegiate basketball during the 1945–46 NCAA men's basketball season. Under the only year of head coach Sam B. Holt (who concurrently served as the head baseball coach), the team finished the season 10–10 and 5–5 in the Southern Conference. This was the 41st season of the collegiate basketball program at William & Mary, whose nickname is now the Tribe.
