SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's basketball statistical leaders

The SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's basketball statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the SIU Edwardsville Cougars 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 Cougars represent Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in the NCAA Division I Ohio Valley Conference.

SIU Edwardsville began competing in intercollegiate basketball in 1967.^[1] The NCAA did not officially record assists as a stat until the 1983–84 season, and blocks and steals until the 1985–86 season, but SIU Edwardsville's record books includes players in these stats before these seasons. These lists are updated through the end of the 2023–24 season.
