The 1993 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament was the 12th annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA Division I women's collegiate soccer. The championship game was played at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, North Carolina during December 1993.[1]

North Carolina defeated George Mason (the last team to defeat the Tar Heels in a College Cup Final) in the final, 6–0, to win their eleventh national title. Coached by Anson Dorrance, the Tar Heels again finished the season undefeated, 23–0. This would go on to become the eighth of North Carolina's record nine consecutive national titles (1986–1994). It also comprised the Tar Heels' ten-year unbeaten streak that ran from the 1984 final all the way until the 1994 season.

The Most Outstanding Offensive Player was again Mia Hamm from North Carolina, and the Most Outstanding Defensive Player was Skye Eddy, from George Mason. Hamm was also the tournament's leading scorer (6 goals, 4 assists). Hamm and Eddy, along with ten other players, were named to the All-tournament team.
