The 2020 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference women's basketball tournament was a postseason college basketball tournament that was scheduled to take place March 10–14, 2020, at the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia. The first-round games were played on March 11 and March 12, and the quarterfinal games were to be played on March 13 and 14.
