The 1973 NCAA men's volleyball tournament was the fourth annual tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA men's college volleyball.

The round-robin seeding games were played on Friday, May 25, at Peterson Gym on the San Diego State campus. The semi-final and championship matches were held at the San Diego Sports Arena on Saturday, May 26.
