The ACC women's basketball tournament is the conference championship tournament in basketball for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The tournament has been held every year since 1978, several years before the first NCAA championships for women. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship.

On May 15, 2014, it was announced that the tournament will be held in Greensboro through 2022. However, the ACC moved the 2017 tournament to the Myrtle Beach area as part of an all conference political protest against North Carolina's Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act.
