This is a list of Big East Conference men's basketball regular season champions. There are no tie-breakers for the Regular Season Championship, so any teams tied for first at the end of the season share the Championship.
From the 1995–96 season through the 1997–98 season, and again from the 2000-01 through the 2002–03 seasons, the Big East was divided into two divisions, each awarding regular-season championships to the teams with the best records in their respective divisions. From 1995–98 through 1997–98 the two divisions were named "Big East 6" and "Big East 7." From 2000-01 through 2002-03 the divisions were named "East" and "West."
The original Big East Conference began play in the 1979–80 season. After the end of the 2012–13 season, seven schools left that conference to join three other schools in forming a new Big East Conference which began play in the 2013–14 season, while the old conference renamed itself the American Athletic Conference, marketed as "The American." Both the new Big East and The American claim the history and heritage of the original Big East as their own. This list includes the champions of both the original Big East and the new Big East.
