The 1992–93 Phoenix Suns season was the 25th season of the Phoenix Suns in the National Basketball Association (NBA). With an NBA-best 62–20 finish, the team set the franchise record for most wins in a season (the record was later tied in the 2004–05 season). Newly acquired forward and regular season MVP Charles Barkley led the team to its second trip to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Chicago Bulls in six games.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Suns faced elimination as they trailed 2–0 against the 8th-seeded Los Angeles Lakers. However, they managed to win the next three games to advance in the semifinals, where they defeated the San Antonio Spurs in six games. In the Western Conference Finals, they defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in a full seven game series on their way to the Finals before losing in six games to the Bulls.

The season saw the debut of the new "Streaking Sun" logo, which was featured on the team's new jerseys. The season was also the Suns first at the new America West Arena (later renamed US Airways Center). The new arena had a regular season attendance of 779,943 in 41 home games, the fifth highest total attendance in the league. The team sold-out the capacity 19,023 arena every game of the season.

The Suns' new logo and uniforms would last until 2000. Following the season, Tom Chambers signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Utah Jazz.
