The Atlantic 10 women's basketball tournament is the conference championship tournament in women's basketball for the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10). It is a single-elimination tournament involving all 15 league schools, and seeding is based on regular-season records with head-to-head match-up as a tie-breaker. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA women's basketball tournament.

The top nine teams in the conference receive byes in the first round, while #12 plays #13, #11 plays #14, and #10 plays #15. The top four teams receive a "double-bye" into the quarterfinals, while #5 plays the winner of #12/#13, #6 plays the winner of #11/#14, #7 plays the winner of #10/#15, and #8 plays #9. The winners of the second-round games move on to face one of the top four seeds in the format of a normal eight-team bracket: #1 vs. #8 or #9; #2 vs. #7. #10, or #15; #3 vs #6, #11 or #14; and #4 vs #5, #12 or #13.
