Pam Borton (born August 22, 1965) is the current head women's basketball coach at the University of Minnesota. She took over following the resignation of Brenda Frese in 2002.

As head coach of the Gophers, she has a 156-90 record and a 225-136 career coaching record. Previously, Borton was the head coach at the University of Vermont from 1993 to 1997 and was an assistant at Boston College from 1998 to 2002, where she served as associate head coach for her last two seasons.

Borton led Minnesota to its first Final Four appearance in 2004 and she led the team to four straight NCAA tournament appearances and three straight Sweet 16 appearances. However, her tenure has also been controversial after several players left the team early in 2006.[1]
