The 1993–94 Milwaukee Bucks season was the 26th season for the Milwaukee Bucks in the National Basketball Association. The Bucks received the eighth overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft, and selected power forward Vin Baker from the University of Hartford, and signed free agent Ken Norman during the off-season.

However, the Bucks struggled all season long by posting a 10-game losing streak early into the regular season, and held a 14–34 record at the All-Star break. At mid-season, the team traded Frank Brickowski to the Charlotte Hornets, while second-year forward Anthony Avent was dealt to the Orlando Magic, and Danny Schayes was sold to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Bucks lost 22 of their final 25 games of the season, including a nine-game losing streak in April, finishing tied in last place in the Central Division with a franchise worst record of 20–62, a record that stood for 20 years until the 2013–14 season, where they posted a 15–67 record.

Eric Murdock led the team with 15.3 points, 6.7 assists and 2.4 steals per game, while Baker averaged 13.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, and second-year guard Todd Day provided the team with 12.7 points and 1.4 steals per game. In addition, Norman provided with 11.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and Blue Edwards contributed 11.6 points per game. Off the bench, Derek Strong averaged 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, while second-year guard Jon Barry contributed 6.2 points per game, and second-year guard Lee Mayberry provided with 5.3 points and 2.6 assists per game.

During the NBA All-Star weekend at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Murdock participated in the NBA Three-Point Shootout; despite a stellar rookie season, and playing all 82 games during the regular season, Baker was not selected for the inaugural NBA Rookie Game. Following the season, Norman was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, while Edwards and Strong were both dealt to the Boston Celtics, and Brad Lohaus signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat.

For the season, the Bucks changed their primary logo, which showed a more regal looking buck, ditching their previous logo of a cartoonish buck spinning a basketball. The team also added new uniforms with side panels on their shorts, plus adding purple to their color scheme of dark green. The new logo would remain in use until 2006, while the uniforms would last until 2001, where they added purple, and green side panels to the side of their home and road jerseys respectively, and the basic design of the logo would remain in use until 2015.
