The NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championship is an annual men's college tennis national collegiate championship sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for teams in Division I. The tournament crowns a team, individual, and doubles champion. Held every year since 1883 (except 2020), the championship is typically contested in May, and–in recent years–has been held at the same location as the NCAA women's Division I tournaments.

Originally known as the U.S. Intercollegiate Championships, the first championship was held in 1883, 23 years before the founding of the NCAA; Harvard's Joseph Clark won the inaugural singles title. The first NCAA-sponsored tennis tournament, however, would not be held until 1946.

In 1963, the NCAA began to organize separate tournaments for Division I and Division II (then known as the University Division and the College Division). A tournament for Division III would later be added in 1973.

USC have been the most successful program, with 21 team national titles.

• The NCAA was founded in 1906, but the first NCAA-sponsored championship would not be held until 1946.
• Before 1977, individual wins counted in the team's total points. In 1977, a dual-match, single-elimination team championship was initiated, eliminating the points system.
