The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC, play /ˈmæk/) is a college athletic conference which operates in the northeastern United States. MAAC teams compete in the NCAA's Division I. Most of the members are Catholic or formerly Catholic institutions; the only exception is the private but secular Rider University.

Richard J. Ensor is the commissioner of the MAAC, a post he has held since 1988.

The conference was founded in 1980 by six charter members: the U.S. Military Academy, Fairfield University, Fordham University, Iona College, Manhattan College and Saint Peter's College. Competition officially began the next year, in the sports of men’s cross-country and men’s soccer.

Competition in men's and women's basketball began in the 1981-1982 season. In 1984, the MAAC received an automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, where Iona was the first team to represent the MAAC on the men's side. In 1982, Saint Peter's was the first women's basketball team to represent the MAAC in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.

The league added football in 1993, and dropped it following the 2007 season.

From 1997 to 2003, the MAAC sponsored ice hockey. At that time, the hockey league split from the MAAC and changed its name to Atlantic Hockey.

Football

The MAAC Football League was formed in 1993 and folded in the 2007-08 academic year. At its peak, it consisted of Canisius, Duquesne, Fairfield, Georgetown, Iona, La Salle, Marist, Saint John's, Saint Peter's and Siena.

Canisius, Fairfield, Saint John's and Siena have since disbanded their football programs. Saint Peter's disbanded its football team in June 2007, while La Salle did the same in November 2007. Iona disbanded their football program in November 2008 after competing as an FCS independent in the 2008 season.

Georgetown, a former MAACFL member, has moved to the Patriot League. Duquesne left the MAACFL after the 2007 season to join the Northeast Conference. Marist joined the Pioneer Football League in 2009.
