The Summit League men's basketball tournament is the post-season tournament for NCAA Division I conference Summit League. The winner of the tournament receives the Summit League's automatic bid into the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. The tournament was first played in 1984, when the league was known as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities (AMCU). The league was also known as the Mid-Continent Conference from 1989–2007, after which it was renamed to The Summit League.

Currently, all men's basketball teams in the Summit League receive a berth in the conference tournament (barring NCAA sanctions). After the 18-game conference season, teams are seeded by conference record with the following tie-breakers:
