The 2011–12 Drexel Dragons men's basketball team represented Drexel University during the 2011–12 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Dragons, led by 11th year head coach Bruiser Flint, played their home games at Daskalakis Athletic Center and are members of the Colonial Athletic Association. They finished the season 29–7, 16–2 in CAA play to be crowned CAA regular season champions. They lost in the championship game of the CAA Basketball tournament to VCU.
