The 2018–19 Saint Joseph's Hawks basketball team represented Saint Joseph's University during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Hawks were led by 24th-year head coach Phil Martelli, and played their home games at Hagan Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference. They finished the season 14–19 overall, 6–12 in A-10 play to finish in a tie for tenth place. As the No. 10 seed in the A-10 tournament, they advanced to the quarterfinals, where they lost to Davidson.

On March 19, 2019, Phil Martelli was fired after 24 seasons as the head coach.[1] He ended his tenure at Saint Joseph's with a 444–328 record. Shortly thereafter, the school hired Philadelphia 76ers assistant coach Billy Lange as head coach.[2]
