The 2013–14 Florida Gulf Coast Eagles men's basketball team will represent Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) in the 2013–14 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. FGCU is a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference and the defending A-Sun Tournament champion. They play their home games at Alico Arena. The previous season was best known for its upset performance during the 2012–13 season, making it to the Sweet 16 as a #15 seed.

The team went through many changes for the 2013–14 season. Head coach Andy Enfield left to take the same job at USC [2] and former Kansas assistant Joe Dooley takes over as head coach.[3] Atlantic Sun Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year Sherwood Brown graduated and turned professional, signing a contract with Israel's Maccabi Haifa B.C. in July 2013.[4] The Eagles started the season against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The Eagles played in their third consecutive A-Sun final, but lost to Mercer and settled for an NIT spot.
