The 2025 Northeast Conference Women's Basketball Tournament was the postseason women's basketball tournament for the Northeast Conference for the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The tournament took place on three dates between March 10 and 16, 2025, with all tournament games played in the home arenas of the higher-seeded school. The winner would receive the conference's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA tournament, provided such team was eligible. If a reclassifying institution won the NEC tournament championship, the tournament runner-up would be awarded the NEC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. If two reclassifying teams, i.e. Le Moyne and Stonehill, reached the final of the NEC tournament, the conference would stage an automatic qualifier game between the two non-advancing semifinalists. Since Le Moyne and Stonehill were matched up against each other in the tournament semifinals, an ineligible team was guaranteed to reach the NEC final. Consequently, the winner of the semifinal between Fairleigh Dickinson and Chicago State, ultimately Fairleigh Dickinson, received the NEC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. FDU made its NCAA Division I tournament debut.
This was the final women's tournament held under the "Northeast Conference" name. On October 2, 2025, the conference changed its name to its longstanding initialism of NEC.
