The 2024 America East Men's Basketball Conference tournament was the postseason men's basketball tournament for the America East Conference. It was held March 9–16, 2024, at campus sites of the higher seeds. The winner, Vermont, received the conference's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Tournament. The tournament was sponsored by Jersey Mike's Subs.
Seeds Eight of the nine America East teams qualified for the tournament. The teams were seeded by record in conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
The tiebreaker steps are 1) head-to-head records in games involving the tied teams; 2) winning percentage versus conference opponents in descending rank order, taking into account groups of teams tied in the standings rather than individual tied teams; 3) winning percentage in conference road games; 4} better NCAA NET ranking through end of conference regular-season games. If a multiple-team tiebreaker resolves part but not all of the tie, the remaining tied teams revert to the first step of a new tiebreaker.
