The 1993–94 UEFA Champions League was the 39th season of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA's premier club football tournament, and the second season with the UEFA Champions League logo (it was adopted in the group stage and semi-finals, the rest of the tournament continued to be called "European Champion Clubs' Cup" or "European Cup"). The competition was won by Milan, their fifth title, beating Barcelona 4–0 in the final. Marseille were the defending champions, but were not allowed to enter the competition after a match-fixing scandal revealed after the final that Marseille came out victorious in the preceding season. This saw them relegated to Division 2 and stripped of their league title.
There were changes made to the UEFA Champions League's format from the previous year. After two seasons, with the groups, it introduced one legged semi-finals taking place after the group stage, meaning that two sides qualified from each group with the group winners playing the semi-finals at home.
Regarding participants, this edition was marked by the absence of the Yugoslav participant due to the fact that Yugoslavia was under UN economic sanctions. Yugoslav participants were frequent presence in advanced stages of the competition with Red Star Belgrade having won the European Cup in 1991 and finished second in the group last season. FK Partizan were to represent the country in this edition, however, they were not allowed to participate due to the fact that the economic sanctions included country's participation in sports international events as well. Meanwhile, Croatia and Georgia entered their champions for the first time this edition.
