The 2011–12 Binghamton Bearcats men's basketball team represented Binghamton University during the 2011–12 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bearcats, led by third-year head coach Mark Macon, played their home games at the Binghamton University Events Center in Vestal, New York as members of the America East Conference.

The team finished with a record of 2–29, the worst in program history, and finished last in America East play with a 1–15 conference record. Binghamton began the season by losing 26 consecutive games and were the final remaining winless team in Division I. The Bearcats ended the regular season at 1–28. They defeated UMBC in the first round of the 2012 America East men's basketball tournament before losing to Stony Brook to end their season. The Bearcats' .065 winning percentage ranked 343rd out of 344 Division I programs, ahead of just Towson's 1–31 (.031) record.

In the aftermath of the Bearcats' historically inept season, Macon was fired and replaced by Tommy Dempsey. Freshman forward Ben Dickinson and freshman guard Chris Longoria both transferred to other programs as a result.
