The 1993 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament involved 12 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college ice hockey. It began on March 26, 1993, and ended with the championship game on April 3. A total of 11 games were played.

This would be the first tournament where 20-minute, sudden-death overtime periods were played if a game was tied after regulation. All previous tournaments between 1954 and 1992 utilized 10-minute, sudden-death overtime periods.

Qualifying teams The at-large bids and seeding for each team in the tournament were announced after the conference tournaments concluded. The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) had four teams receive a berth, the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) and the ECAC each had three teams receive a berth in the tournament while the Hockey East had two berths.
