The 1993–94 Loyola Greyhounds men's basketball team represented Loyola University Maryland during the 1993–94 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Greyhounds, led by head coach Skip Prosser, played their home games at Reitz Arena and are members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. They finished the season 17–13, 6–8 in MAAC play to finish in fifth place. The Greyhounds made an unexpected run to capture the MAAC Basketball tournament and earned the conference's automatic bid into the 1994 NCAA tournament – the first appearance in program history.^[1] Playing as the No. 15 seed in the West region, Loyola lost in the first round to No. 2 seed and eventual Final Four participant Arizona, 81–55.^[2]^[3]

Senior guard Tracy Bergan established school records for career assists and steals. While the steals record has been surpassed, Bergan's assist mark remains. In 2008, Bergan was named to Loyola's All-Century Team.^[4]
