The 1993 Southeastern Conference Baseball Tournament was the first year the SEC held separate tournaments for the Eastern Division and the Western Division. The Eastern Division tournament was held at Sarge Frye Field in Columbia, SC from May 20 through May 23. The Western Division tournament was held at Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge, LA also from May 20 through May 23. Tennessee won the Eastern Division tournament and LSU won the Western Division tournament. All games played in the tournament were added to the teams' records from the 24-game conference regular season.

As the tournament champion with the highest conference winning percentage, LSU was named SEC champion and awarded the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
