The 1993 NCAA Division I men's basketball championship game took place on April 5, 1993, between the North Carolina Tar Heels and Michigan Wolverines at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The match-up was the final one of the fifty-fifth consecutive NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship single-elimination tournament — commonly referred to as the NCAA Tournament — organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and is used to crown a national champion for men's basketball at the Division I level.
The Tar Heels defeated the Fab Five-led Wolverines and won their third national championship, after having been victorious in 1957 and 1982 beforehand. Donald Williams was named the NCAA basketball tournament Most Outstanding Player for his efforts throughout the tournament. This was the third consecutive national championship won by the ACC.
Michigan was later forced to vacate its appearance in the title game due to issues found with the eligibility of Chris Webber in the University of Michigan basketball scandal. This would be Michigan's last appearance in the championship game until 2013.
