The 2023–24 Florida State Seminoles women's basketball team represented Florida State University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. They were led by third-year head coach Brooke Wyckoff, who previously served as interim head coach for the team during the 2020–21 season. The Seminoles played their home games at the Donald L. Tucker Center on the university's Tallahassee, Florida campus. They competed as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
The Seminoles started the season ranked eighteenth in the country and won their first five games to start the season. This five game stretch included a win over eleventh-ranked Tennessee and a rivalry win over Florida. Their first loss of the season came in the Ball Dawgs Classic to fourth-ranked Stanford. The Seminoles also lost their ACC–SEC Challenge game to Arkansas and their only other non-conference loss came against second-ranked UCLA. They finished the non-conference season 9–3. They started off their ACC regular season schedule with winning five of their first six games, with the only loss being at third-ranked NC State in overtime. The Seminoles were ranked as highly as number fifteen in the nation before going on a three-game losing skid. They followed that with winning six of their next seven games, with the only loss being in double overtime to twelfth-ranked Notre Dame. They would split the last two games of the regular season, losing to twenty-second-ranked Louisville and defeating Clemson in the final game of the season.
The Seminoles finished the season 23–11 overall and 12–6 in ACC play, to finish in a tie for fifth place. As the sixth seed in the ACC tournament, they defeated fourteenth seed Wake Forest in the second round and third seed Syracuse in the quarterfinals before losing to second seed NC State in the semifinals. They received an at-large invitation to the NCAA tournament, marking the eleventh consecutive year the team has qualified for the tournament. As the ninth seed in the Portland 4 were defeated by eighth seed Alabama in the first round to end their season.

The Seminoles finished the season 23–10 overall and 12–6 in ACC play, to finish in a tie for fourth place. As the fifth seed in the ACC tournament, they earned a bye into the second round where they were upset by twelfth seed Wake Forest. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, marking the tenth consecutive year the team has qualified for the tournament. As the seventh seed in the Seattle 4 Region, they lost to ten seed Georgia to end their season. A contributing factor to their postseason losses was the absence of Ta'Niya Latson who lead the team and the ACC in scoring during the regular season and won ACC Freshman of the Year.[1] [2]
