The 1936–37 Washington State Cougars men's basketball team represented Washington State College for the 1936–37 college basketball season. Led by ninth-year head coach Jack Friel, the Cougars were members of the Pacific Coast Conference and played their home games on campus at WSC Gymnasium in Pullman, Washington.

The Cougars were 22–6 overall in the regular season and 11–5 in conference play, in a three-way tie for first place in the Northern division. In the three-way playoff,[2] Washington State defeated rival Washington in Seattle,[3] and defeated Oregon eight nights later in Pullman to win their first division title.[4]

The best-of-three conference playoff series was held in Pullman against Southern division winner Stanford; the Cougars lost two close games.[5][6]

The National Invitation Tournament (NIT) debuted the next year, and the NCAA Tournament in 1939.
