The 2024 ACC women's basketball tournament was the postseason women's basketball tournament for the Atlantic Coast Conference held at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, from March 6–10, 2024.[1] [2] The 2024 edition marked the 24th time in 25 years that the tournament was held in Greensboro.

The defending champions were the Virginia Tech Hokies.[3] Virginia Tech entered this edition as the number one seed after winning the regular season. However, they were unable to defend their title, losing in the Semifinals to Notre Dame. Notre Dame would go on to win the tournament over NC State 55–51 in the Final.[4] This was the sixth ACC Tournament championship for the Notre Dame program, all of which have come since they joined the conference in 2013. This was the first ACC Tournament title for head coach Niele Ivey. As champions, Notre Dame received the ACC's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament.
