The Middle Atlantic Conferences men's basketball tournaments are the annual conference basketball championship tournaments for the NCAA Division III Middle Atlantic Conferences: the MAC Commonwealth and MAC Freedom.

The MAC has held a tournament more or less every year since 1947, although the current two-conference format has only been played since 2001. They are each a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records.

The winners, each declared champion of their respective conference, receives one of the MAC's two automatic bids to the NCAA men's Division III basketball championship.
