The 2018–19 UMKC Kangaroos men's basketball team represented the University of Missouri–Kansas City during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Kangaroos, led by sixth-year head coach Kareem Richardson, played their home conference games on-campus at Swinney Recreation Center and home non-conference games off-campus at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri as a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).

The Kangaroos finished the season 11–21, 6–10 in WAC play to finish in a tie for seventh place. They were defeated by Utah Valley University in the WAC tournament quarterfinal round.

Following the elimination in the conference tournament, Richardson was told he would not lead the program for a seventh season.
