The 2024–25 Stanford Cardinal men's basketball team represented Stanford University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They played their home games at Maples Pavilion. Led by first-year head coach Kyle Smith, this marked the inaugural season for Stanford as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The team started the season well, winning six straight games, a streak which culminated in a 71–69 win at Santa Clara. The team then went on a two game losing streak, losing in the Acrisure Holiday Invitational to Grand Canyon and to Cal Poly. They rebounded to win three straight games, including a rivalry match and their ACC opener against California. That streak ended as the Cardinal faced their first ranked team of the season in number ten Oregon. They fell at a neutral site in the San Jose Tip-Off 76–61. They then went on their first ACC road trip to the east coast, where they lost to Clemson and Pittsburgh. They rebounded from the road trip and went 6–1 over their next seven games, with five of those games being at home. They went 1–1 in the road games, with a loss at Wake Forest and a win at North Carolina. The team stumbled and went 1–4 over their next five games. They only defeated NC State 74–73, while losing to SMU, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and third-ranked Duke over the stretch. The Cardinal finished 3–2 over their last five games, winning their three games at home and losing their two games on the road. The stretch included wins over rival California, SMU, and Boston College. The two losses were their final to games of the season versus Notre Dame and fourteenth-ranked Louisville.
