List of Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball head coaches

The University of Kansas' men's basketball team plays at the Division I level of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) in the Big 12 Conference. The men's basketball program officially began in 1898, following the arrival of Dr. James Naismith to the school, just six years after Naismith had written the sport's first official rules. Kansas has had only eight head coaches in the 120 years of basketball at the University of Kansas.

Notes:
 * In 1919, Karl Schlademan coached, and won, the first game of the season before relinquishing the coaching position to Allen in order to concentrate on his duties as head track coach.
 * In 1947, Howard Engleman coached 14 games (going 8–6) after Allen was ordered to take a rest following the 13th game of the season. Engleman's record is not listed in this table as he was never officially a head coach at the university.
 * In 2022, assistant coach Norm Roberts coached and won 4 games after KU Athletics suspended Bill Self and assistant coach Kurtis Townsend in connection with a 2017 NCAA investigation into the Jayhawks recruiting program.
