The 2005 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament took place from March 10-13, 2005 in Washington, D.C. at the MCI Center. Duke won the tournament, defeating Georgia Tech in the championship game. Duke's J.J. Redick won the tournament's Most Valuable Player award.

North Carolina came in as the top-seeded team. However, they lost in the semifinal to Georgia Tech. The season was not over for the Tar Heels, as they went on to win the NCAA Championship.

The 2005 ACC Tournament was the first ACC Tournament with 11 teams participating. Conference newcomers Miami and Virginia Tech participated in their first ACC tournament. Their debut was unsuccessful, as both teams failed to win a game. The tournament would expand to 12 teams for the following season, as Boston College would join from the Big East Conference.

Wake Forest's Chris Paul was suspended for his team's quarterfinal game against NC State for punching Julius Hodge in the groin in the season finale between the two teams. NC State took advantage of his absence, defeating Wake Forest en route to the semifinal round.
