The 2016–17 Dayton Flyers men's basketball team represented the University of Dayton during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Flyers, led by sixth-year head coach Archie Miller, played their home games at the University of Dayton Arena as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference. They finished the season 24–8, 15–3 in A-10 play to win the regular season A-10 championship. They received the No. 1 seed in the A-10 tournament where they lost in the quarterfinals to Davidson.
