During the 1993–94 English football season, Barnet F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division.

Season summary

In the 1993–94 season, Barnet goalkeeper Gary Phillips took over as manager during a difficult summer in which the club marginally survived a vote of expulsion by a Football League EGM, and lost the vast majority of their promotion winning side in a tribunal which nullified the players' contracts. Phillips cobbled together a squad from the few remaining players and free transfers. In January 1994 Phillips was assisted by former England goalkeeper Ray Clemence, but were still relegated from Division Two.
