# 2019–20 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers women's basketball team

The 2019–20 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers women's basketball team represented Coastal Carolina University in the 2019–20 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Chanticleers, led by seventh-year head coach Jaida Williams, played their home games at HTC Center and were members of the Sun Belt Conference. They finished the season 25–4, 15–3 in Sun Belt play, to finish in second place. They advanced to the second round of the Sun Belt women's tournament where they lost to Appalachian State.
