The American South Conference men's basketball tournament was the conference championship tournament in men's basketball for the American South Conference (ASC). The tournament was held annually between 1988 and 1991, after which most of the conference's members were absorbed into the Sun Belt Conference.
Due to NCAA rules regarding minimum number of tournament eligible members, the conference champion did not receive an automatic bid into the tournament in each of its first three editions, before Louisiana Tech received the conference's first and only automatic bid in 1991.
