The 2017–18 UMass Lowell River Hawks men's basketball team represented the University of Massachusetts Lowell during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The River Hawks, led by fifth-year head coach Pat Duquette, played most of their home games at Costello Athletic Center, with six home games at the Tsongas Center. They were members of the America East Conference.

The season marked the River Hawks' first full season as a Division I school after a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. Accordingly, they were eligible for postseason play including the America East tournament. They finished the season 12–18, 6–10 in America East play to finish in a tie for sixth place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the America East tournament to UMBC.
