The Summit League baseball tournament is the conference baseball championship of the NCAA Division I's Summit League. The top four finishers in the regular season of the conference's seven teams advance to the double-elimination tournament, which in 2025 will return to Tal Anderson Field in Omaha, Nebraska. The winner of the tournament receives an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.

The league changed its name from the Mid-Continent Conference prior to the 2008 season. Oral Roberts has won the most championships with 22, and is the most recent champion.
