The 2025 Big Ten men's basketball tournament (branded as the 2025 TIAA Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament for sponsorship reasons) is a postseason men's basketball tournament for the Big Ten Conference of the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season which will take place from March 12–16, 2025. The tournament will be held at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. The tournament winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.
