The 1942–43 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1942–43 NCAA college basketball season. Elmer Ripley coached it in his seventh of ten seasons as head coach; it was also the fifth and final season of his second of three stints at the helm. The team returned to – where Georgetown had played its home games from 1929 to 1940 – on the campus of McKinley Technical High School in Washington, D.C., for its home games. It finished with a record of 22–5 (.815) and became the first Georgetown team in history to participate in a post-season tournament, advancing to the final game of the NCAA Tournament, losing to Wyoming. Its youth and inexperience led it to be nicknamed the "Kiddie Korps."
