The 1993–94 season of the WFA National League Premier Division was the third season of national top-flight league women's football in England.[1] The competition was organised by the Women's Football Alliance and the Football Association Committee for Women's Football.[2]

Below the Premier Division were the Northern and Southern Divisions.

The 1993–94 women's championship was won by Doncaster Belles, their second National League trophy, after a title race with the previous champions, Arsenal.[3]

This season coincided with the merger of the league's founding body, the Women's Football Association, into the FA in 1993.[2] (The WFA had founded the National League in 1991.) The new organising Women's Football Alliance and FA Committee were composed of members from women's clubs, women's leagues, and FA representatives.[2] New branding as the FA Women's Premier League began in 1994–95.[4]
