The 2013 Great West Conference men's basketball tournament was held March 14–16, 2013, at the Emil and Patricia Jones Convocation Center in Chicago, Illinois. Per NCAA regulations as a new Division I conference, the Great West champion would not have received an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament until 2020; however, the winner was extended an automatic bid to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.
This edition was to be the last Great West Conference Men's Basketball Tournament as Houston Baptist would depart the conference after the season to join the Southland Conference and Chicago State, Texas–Pan American and Utah Valley would depart the conference after the season to join the Western Athletic Conference, leaving the New Jersey Institute of Technology as its sole remaining member.
