ECAC men's basketball tournaments

For the ECAC North Conference's post-season tournaments of 1980 through 1988, see America East Conference men's basketball tournament.

The ECAC men's basketball tournaments are postseason college basketball tournaments organized by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) in the United States.

Despite its name, the ECAC is not a traditional athletic conference, but rather a loosely organized sports federation for colleges and universities in the northeastern United States. Among other things, it organizes end-of-season college basketball tournaments for member schools which are not members of a traditional conference, or which do not otherwise have access to such a tournament. At various times, it has organized end-of-season basketball tournaments at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, Division II, and Division III levels. The Division I tournaments it organized from 1975 through 1981 were the only college basketball tournaments which gave independent colleges and universities in the northeastern United States automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament during those years.
