The 1969 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament was the 22nd such tournament in NCAA history. It was held between March 13 and 15, 1969, and concluded with Denver defeating Cornell 4 to 3. Three games were played at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado while the consolation game was played at the newly-opened Cadet Ice Arena. This was the first time that the NCAA tournament did not take place entirely at one venue. The ECAC tournament champion and the two WCHA tournament co-champions received automatic bids into the tournament. An at-large bid was offered to a second eastern team based upon both their ECAC tournament finish as well as their regular season record.
