# 2021–22 Weber State Wildcats men's basketball team

The 2021–22 Weber State Wildcats men's basketball team represented Weber State University in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wildcats, led by 16th-year head coach Randy Rahe, played their home games at the Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah, as members of the Big Sky Conference. After the season, Rahe would retire as the winningest coach in Weber State and Big Sky conference history. He would be succeeded by assistant coach Eric Duft.
