TheGreat Midwest Conference men's basketball tournament was the conference championship tournament in men's basketball for theGreat Midwest Conference (GMC). The tournament was held annually from 1992 to 1995, coming to an end when the Great Midwest Conference was absorbed intoConference USA forthe 1995–96 season.
The Great Midwest Conference tournament never met criteria for an automatic bid to theNCAA tournament, meaning that the winner of the tournament was never guaranteed an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. However,Cincinnati, which won all four GMC tournaments, received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament each year.
