The 1974–75 Louisville Cardinals men's basketball team represented the University of Louisville in NCAA Division I men's competition in the 1974–75 season. Coached by Denny Crum, the Cardinals won the Missouri Valley Conference title in their last season as a member (they would become a founding member of the Metro Conference the following year), and advanced to the Final Four of that season's NCAA tournament, losing in the semifinals to a UCLA team coached by Crum's retiring mentor, John Wooden.

The Cardinals played their home games at Freedom Hall, their home from the 1956–57 season until their move to the new KFC Yum! Center for the 2010–11 season.
