The 1929–30 Arkansas Razorbacks men's college basketball team season represented the University of Arkansas in the 1929–30 college basketball season.

It was Charles Bassett's first season as head coach of the Hogs after coaching the basketball team at Texas A&M for two seasons. Former head coach Francis Schmidt left for TCU after overseeing the creation of Arkansas's basketball program and coaching the Razorbacks to four Southwest Conference titles in his six seasons in Fayetteville. The Razorbacks won their fifth-straight Southwest Conference championship in 1930 with a conference record of 10–2 and 16–7 overall.
