The 1952 SEC men's basketball tournament took place February 28–March 1, 1952 in Louisville, Kentucky at the Jefferson County Armory. It was the nineteenth SEC tournament and the final edition before its 26-year hiatus.

The Kentucky Wildcats won the tournament championship game by beating LSU, 44–43. Kentucky would go on to play in the 1952 NCAA tournament, but fell in the East Regional Final to St. John's.

The next tournament would not be held until 1979. From the 1953–1978, the SEC awarded its championship and NCAA tournament bid to the team with the best record in conference play.
