The 1944 Southeastern Conference men's basketball tournament took place on March 2–3, 1944, in Louisville, Kentucky at the Jefferson County Armory. It was the eleventh SEC basketball tournament. [1]

Kentucky won the tournament by beating Tulane in the championship game. Due to World War II, only six SEC schools fielded teams during the 1943–44 season.[1] The Wildcats would go on to play in the 1944 NIT, losing to St. John's in the semifinals.
