The Mid-American Conference women's soccer tournament is the conference championship tournament in women's soccer for the Mid-American Conference (MAC). The tournament has been held every year in November since 1997. It is a single-elimination tournament that features the conference's top six teams, with seeding based on regular season records. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women's soccer championship. Through the 2024 season, the Bowling Green Falcons have won the most championships with six, followed by the Toledo Rockets with five titles.

Format The tournament begins in late October or early November. The top six teams from the regular season qualify for the tournament and are seeded based on the order of finish in the conference play. Qualifying teams are then placed in a single-elimination bracket, with the top seed playing the lowest seed, until meeting in a final championship game. Through the 2024 tournament, the opening rounds were played at campus sites and with the semifinals and final played at the highest remaining seed's home field. Beginning in 2025 and at least through 2026, the entire tournament will be played at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

Prior to 2020 the tournament consisted of eight teams, and for the 2020 season was the top team of the East Division versus the top team in the West Division.
