The 1993–94 Hartford Whalers season was the 22nd season of the franchise, 15th season in the NHL. The Whalers missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season. It was the first season that all four former WHA teams (Edmonton, Hartford, Quebec, Winnipeg) missed the playoffs since joining the NHL in 1979.

Off-season

At the 1993 NHL Entry Draft the Whalers picked Chris Pronger second-overall with their first-round pick.

Regular season

The Whalers were put into the new 'Northeast Division' after the 'Adams Division' was discontinued.
