The 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament took place from March 13–March 16, 2008, at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tournament was broadcast on the ESPN family of networks, along with Raycom Sports in the ACC footprint. Both broadcasters had the games available in HD.

Florida State and Miami won their first round games for the second year in a row. Miami became the first #5 seed to win an ACC tournament game since the conference expanded to 12 teams. The past two seasons, the #12 seed pulled off the upset.

By winning the ACC championship, North Carolina received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and passed Duke for most ACC Tournament Championships with seventeen. Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina was named tournament MVP.
