The 2020 Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball tournament ended the 2019-20 season of Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball. The tournament was held March 4–7, 2020, at Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. Southeast Missouri State was the winner, receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Format The OVC women's tournament is a traditional single-elimination tournament featuring the top eight teams in the conference regular-season standings. This differs from the format used in the OVC men's tournament; while that tournament also involves only eight of the league's 12 members, it has a radically different format, consisting of two stepladder brackets that produce the tournament finalists. The women's tournament is seeded so that the #8 seed faces the #1 seed in the first round, #7 faces #2, and so on. There is no reseeding, so if the #8 team were to defeat the #1 seed it would continue in the tournament playing the team which would have faced the #1 seed in the subsequent round (winner of #4 vs. #5).
