† 2021 Patriot League tournament winner |
The 2020–21 Holy Cross Crusaders men's basketball team represented the College of the Holy Cross in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Crusaders, led by second-year head coach Brett Nelson, played their home games at the Hart Center in Worcester, Massachusetts as members of the Patriot League.

The Crusaders finished the season with a 5–11 record in Patriot League play to finish in last place in the North Division and eighth overall in the conference. On March 2, 2021, they suspended their season after another positive COVID-19 test within the program and did not play in the Patriot League tournament.[2]
