The 1992–93 WFA National League season was the 2nd season of the WFA National League. The competition was organised by the Women's Football Association.

Arsenal won their first women's National League title, two points ahead of the previous champions of 1991–92, Doncaster Belles.

The 2–1 win for Arsenal against Doncaster in March at Highbury was instrumental in securing the championship, reportedly only the second defeat of Doncaster Belles in a league game in 15 years. Naz Ball scored the winning goal. The game (part of an Arsenal fundraising day for Michael Watson) had 18,196 fans, the Women's National League/Premier League attendance record.

Arsenal also completed a Treble by defeating Doncaster Belles in the 1993 WFA Cup Final and then beating Knowsley United in the 1992–93 National League Cup Final. Later, Arsenal repeated the domestic Treble in 2000–01 and 2006–07.
