The Mountain East Conference women's basketball tournament is the annual conference women's basketball championship tournament for the Mountain East Conference. The tournament has been held annually since the MEC's establishment in 2013, with the first tournament taking place in 2014. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records.
From 2014 to 2018, the tournament was hosted by the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia. Following several years of low attendance, the league announced it would move the event to the Wheeling Civic Center in Wheeling.
The winner receives the MEC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament.
