The 1992–93 Utah Jazz season was the 19th season for the Utah Jazz in the National Basketball Association, and their 14th season in Salt Lake City, Utah. The city of Salt Lake City hosted the NBA All-Star Game at the Delta Center this year. During the off-season, the Jazz acquired Jay Humphries and Larry Krystkowiak from the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Jazz won six of their first eight games of the regular season, on their way to a 24–10 start. However, they struggled down the stretch with a 6–8 record in February, including a five-game losing streak between February and March. The Jazz held a 33–18 record at the All-Star break, but would play below .500 in winning percentage for the remainder of the season. During the final month of the regular season, the team signed free agent James Donaldson, who played in the final six games. The Jazz finished in third place in the Midwest Division with a 47–35 record, and earned the sixth seed in the Western Conference; they also made their tenth consecutive trip to the NBA playoffs.

Karl Malone averaged 27.0 points and 11.2 rebounds per game, and was named to the All-NBA First Team, while John Stockton averaged 15.1 points, 12.0 assists and 2.4 steals per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team; Malone finished tied in eighth place in Most Valuable Player voting, while Stockton finished tied in tenth place. In addition, Jeff Malone finished second on the team in scoring averaging 18.1 points per game, and Tyrone Corbin provided the team with 11.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. Off the bench, Humphries contributed 8.8 points, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game, while second-year forward David Benoit averaged 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, Krystkowiak provided with 7.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, and Mike Brown averaged 5.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

During the NBA All-Star weekend at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Karl Malone and Stockton were both selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, as members of the Western Conference All-Star team. Karl Malone scored 28 points along with 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, while Stockton contributed 9 points, 15 assists and 2 steals; both players shared the NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player award, as the Western Conference defeated the Eastern Conference in overtime, 135–132. Meanwhile, Benoit participated in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

In the Western Conference First Round of the 1993 NBA playoffs, and for the second consecutive year, the Jazz faced off against the 3rd–seeded Seattle SuperSonics, a team that featured All-Star forward Shawn Kemp, Ricky Pierce and Gary Payton. After losing Game 1 on the road at the Seattle Center Coliseum, 99–85, the Jazz won the next two games to take a 2–1 series lead. However, the team then lost the next two games to the SuperSonics, losing Game 5 on the road, 100–92, thus losing in a full five-game series.

The Jazz finished third in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 815,892 at the Delta Center during the regular season. Following the season, Krystkowiak signed as a free agent with the Orlando Magic, and Brown was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
