The 2023 Colonial Athletic Association men's basketball tournament was the postseason men's college basketball tournament for the Colonial Athletic Association for the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The tournament was held March 3–7, 2023 at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington, D.C.[1][2] Charleston won the tournament, claiming the conference's automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA tournament.
This was the final men's basketball tournament held under the Colonial Athletic Association name. On July 20, 2023, the CAA announced it had changed its name to Coastal Athletic Association. The name change did not affect the CAA initialism, and the conference kept its existing logo.[3]
