| MAAC women's basketball tournaments |
The 2021 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference women's basketball tournament is the postseason women's basketball tournament for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference for the 2020–21 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The tournament is scheduled to be played from March 9–13, 2021, at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey for the second year in a row. Since the tournament was never actually completed the year prior, the defending champions are the Quinnipiac Bobcats.
All of the MAAC, teams except for Canisius, participated in the tournament. Canisius cancelled their season after going 0-5, so they did not compete in the conference tournament. New procedures took effect for this season, as it was official that not all MAAC teams would reach the originally scheduled 20 conference game mark. Team seeding was based on overall conference regular season wins – not including any third games scheduled between teams in lieu of non-conference opponents. A tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records was also used. The top six teams received byes to the quarterfinals.
