The 1981 Trans America Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament (now known as the Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Tournament) was held March 4–8, 1981 at the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Mercer upset top-seeded in the championship game, 72–67, to win their first TAAC/Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament. The Bears, in turn, received the TAAC's automatic bid to the 1981 NCAA Tournament. This was Mercer's first appearance in the Division I NCAA tournament.
