The 1956–57 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1956–57 NCAA University Division college basketball season. Tom Nolan coached them in his first season as head coach. The team was an independent and played its home games at McDonough Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus in Washington, D.C. The Hoyas finished with a record of 11–11, the best of Nolan's four-year tenure as head coach and had no post-season play.

Georgetown's new head coach, Tom Nolan, had been a standout on the Georgetown basketball teams of the 1935–36, 1936–37, and 1937–38 seasons and would coach the Hoyas for four seasons. His assistant, who also joined the Hoyas this season, was Tommy O'Keefe, a star Georgetown player of the 1946–47, 1947–48, 1948–49, and 1949–50 seasons who had then played for a season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 1960, O'Keefe would succeed Nolan as Georgetown's head coach.
