The 2017–18 UNC Wilmington Seahawks men's basketball team represented the University of North Carolina at Wilmington during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Seahawks were led by first-year head coach C. B. McGrath and played their home games at the Trask Coliseum as members of the Colonial Athletic Association. They finished the season 11–21, 7–11 in CAA play to finish in sixth place. They defeated Hofstra in the quarterfinals of the CAA tournament before losing in the semifinals to Northeastern.

The Seahawks finished the 2016–17 season 29–6, 15–3 in CAA play to win the regular season championship.[1] They defeated Delaware,[2] William & Mary,[3] and the College of Charleston to win the CAA tournament.[4] As a result, they earned the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive year.[5] As the No. 12 seed in the East region, they lost in the first round to Virginia.[6][7]
