The 1993–94 Iraqi National League was the 20th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974.

The top scorer, Younis Abid Ali, set a record for the most goals scored in one Iraqi League season (36) which still stands today, although this season was a lot longer than most other seasons.

They went one game unbeaten at the start of the 1994–95 season, completing a 39-match unbeaten streak that broke the record set by Al-Shorta (31) between 1979 to 1981.^[1]
