Ipswich goalkeeper David Cornell saved Wimbledon striker Joe Piggott's penalty to end the visiting side's run of four successive wins.
Cornell made a double stop along with a series of other fine diving efforts to keep the visitors at bay.
The result helped Wimbledon to further secure their status and at the same time left Ipswich without a goal in six games. They have now gone 10 hours without finding the back of the net, a run which has virtually ended their slim hopes of sneaking into the play-offs.
Mark McGuinness blocked goalbound efforts from Ryan Longman and Jack Rudoni. Ayoub Assal fired just wide and Cornell went full length to tip aside a 20-yard shot from Luke O'Neill.
Ipswich had a let-off midway through the first half when Flynn Downes appeared to pull Pigott's shirt in the penalty area. However, Cornell saved the spot-kick.
Keanan Bennetts failed to hit the target when well placed and Cornell flung himself at the feet of Assal.
Andre Dozzell's free-kick was deflected onto the top of the bar and Pigott's 25-yard free-kick was tipped away by Cornell as both teams failed to make a decisive breakthrough.
