The 2025 ACC women's basketball tournament was the postseason women's basketball tournament for the Atlantic Coast Conference held at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, from March 5 to 9, 2025. It was the 25th time in 26 years that the tournament was held in Greensboro. The tournament was sponsored by Ally Financial.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish were the defending tournament champions. Notre Dame was the second overall seed after finishing tied for first place in the regular season rankings. However, they could not defend their title, losing to Duke in the Semifinals. Duke would go on to win the tournament over NC State 76–62. This was the second year in a row that NC State was defeated in the final. This was Duke's ninth overall ACC tournament title, and the first for head coach Kara Lawson. As tournament champions, Duke received the ACC's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament.
