# 1993–94 FIBA Korać Cup

The 1993–94 FIBA Korać Cup season occurred between September 8, 1993, and March 16, 1994.

Recoaro Milano, the defending champions, were eliminated in the semi-finals by Stefanel Trieste.
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's entrants were unable to participate for the second season in a row due to the UN economic sanctions.
