2018–19 Eastern Kentucky Colonels men's basketball team

The 2018–19 Eastern Kentucky Colonels men's basketball team represented Eastern Kentucky University during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Colonels, led by first-year head coach A. W. Hamilton, played their home games at McBrayer Arena within Alumni Coliseum as members of the Ohio Valley Conference. They finished the season 13–18 overall, 6–12 in OVC play, finishing in a four-way tie for sixth place. Tiebreakers worked against them, so they failed to qualify to play in the OVC tournament for the fourth consecutive season.
