Appalachian State Mountaineers men's basketball statistical leaders

The Appalachian State Mountaineers men's basketball statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Appalachian State Mountaineers men's basketball program in various categories, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Mountaineers represent Appalachian State University in the NCAA's Sun Belt Conference.^[1]

Appalachian State began competing in intercollegiate basketball in 1919.^[1] However, the school's record book does not generally list records from before the 1950s, as records from before this period are often incomplete and inconsistent. Since scoring was much lower in this era, and teams played much fewer games during a typical season, it is likely that few or no players from this era would appear on these lists anyway.

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 Appalachian State's record books includes players in these stats before these seasons.^[2] These lists are updated through the end of the 2019–20 season.
