Wake Forest Demon Deacons men's basketball statistical leaders

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons men's basketball statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons men's basketball program in various categories,^[1] including points, assists, blocks, rebounds, and steals. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Demon Deacons represent the Wake Forest University in the NCAA's Atlantic Coast Conference.

Wake Forest initiated its participation in intercollegiate basketball in 1905.^[1] However, the school's record book typically omits records from before the 1950s due to the incomplete and inconsistent nature of the available data from that period. Given that scoring was significantly lower during this era and teams played fewer games in a typical season, it is unlikely that many, if any, players from this period would appear on these lists.

The NCAA did not officially record assists as a statistic until the 1983–84 season, and blocks and steals until the 1985–86 season. However, Wake Forest's record books include players in these statistics before these official recording seasons. These lists are updated through the end of the 2020–21 season.
