The 2021–22 Valparaiso Beacons men's basketball team represents Valparaiso University during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Beacons, led by sixth-year head coach Matt Lottich, play their home games at the Athletics–Recreation Center as members of the Missouri Valley Conference.
Formerly nicknamed the Crusaders, the university dropped that name and associated mascot and logos in 2021 because of the "negative connotation and violence associated with the Crusader imagery," and because of its use by certain hate groups.
The school announced on August 10, 2021 that its athletic teams would officially be known as Beacons effective immediately.
