2021 MAAC tournament winner

The 2020–21 Marist Red Foxes men's basketball team represented Marist College in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Red Foxes, led by third-year head coach John Dunne, played their home games at the McCann Arena in Poughkeepsie, New York as members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

They finished the season 12–9, 10–8 in MAAC play to finish in a tie for third place. As the No. 4 seed in the MAAC tournament, they lost in the quarterfinals to No. 5 seed Niagara 62–67. This marked the first overall and conference winning season for the Red Foxes since 2007–08 when they finished 18–14 overall, and 11–7 in the MAAC.
