The 2024–25 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Hoyas, led by second-year head coach Ed Cooley, were members of the Big East Conference. The Hoyas played their home games in Washington, D.C., at both Capital One Arena and McDonough Gymnasium.
The team's performance was markedly better than in the previous several seasons. Georgetown finished the season with a record of 18-16 while going 8–12 in Big East play to finish the year in seventh place in the conference. This marked the Hoyas' first year with a winning record and highest finish in Big East play since the 2018-19 season. In the Big East Tournament, the Hoyas lost to DePaul in the first round. At the conclusion of the season, Georgetown was selected to play in the inaugural College Basketball Crown tournament. The Hoyas defeated Washington State for their first postseason victory since 2015 before ending their season with a loss to Nebraska in the second round. Following the season Thomas Sorber and Micah Peavy were selected in the NBA Draft, marking the first time that two Hoyas players were selected in the same draft since 2008.
Previous season After cutting ties with head coach Patrick Ewing in 2023 after six years at the helm, the Hoyas played their first season under head coach Ed Cooley, who had left the head coaching position at Big East rival Providence College to come to Georgetown. Under Cooley, the Hoyas had their third historically bad season in a row in 2023–24, starting 7–4 in non-conference games but finishing the season 9–23 overall and 2–18 in Big East play. They finished in 10th place in the 11-team conference. In the Big East tournament, they lost to Providence in the first round, bringing their season to an end.

Roster Georgetown announced its 2024–25 roster on September 23, 2024.
Season recap Non-conference season Georgetown played 11 non-conference games between November 6 and December 28, finishing 9–2 in nonconference play. The non-conference schedule included the Hoyas playing in the final year of the Big East–Big 12 Battle, facing former Big East rival West Virginia on the road. The Hoyas also played former Big East member Syracuse on the road in the annual renewal of their rivalry. All other non-conference games were at home, two of them on campus at McDonough Arena and the rest at Capital One Arena. Georgetown met former Big East opponent Notre Dame at Capital One Arena in the second season of a two-year home-and-home series.
For the second season in a row Georgetown hosted an unnamed and unsponsored multi-team event, again referred to as the "Georgetown MTE." In the 2024 Georgetown MTE, each of three participating teams played each other once, with the Hoyas hosting both Mount St. Mary's and Saint Francis and Mount St. Mary's hosting Saint Francis.
Plans for Georgetown and Maryland to begin a four-year home-and-home series in the 2024–25 season changed in mid-May 2024, with the beginning of the series reportedly pushed back until the 2025–26 season and Maryland hosting the first meeting, the change blamed on scheduling difficulties in 2024–25. In late June, the schools confirmed these plans for the series.
Georgetown finished with a record of 9–2 in non-conference play.
