The Southland Conference softball tournament is the conference championship tournament in college softball for the Southland Conference (SLC). It is a double-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I softball tournament.
The Southland Conference softball tournament is a double-elimination tournament held each year at various SLC campus stadiums. The number of tournament teams has varied over the years. After three years with a 7 team format, the 2025 tournament is moving back to an 8 team format. Of the twelve current conference members, University of New Orleans and UT Rio Grande Valley do not sponsor softball.
The tournament was first held in 1983 when the conference began sponsoring softball. The tournament was not held from 1991 to 1995 and was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
