Ukrainian First League 1993–94 was the third season of the Ukrainian First League which was won by Prykarpattia Ivano-Frankivsk. The season started on August 15, 1993, and its final round (40th) was played on July 3, 1994. In the last round Evis Mykolaiv (Shipbuilders) snatched the ticket to the Ukrainian Premier League from under the nose of Polihraftekhnika Oleksandriya (a point ahead of the Shipbuilders) by beating Naftovyk Okhtyrka 2:1 after allowing the first goal.

It is also worth of noting that the newly promoted club from Cherkasy was leading the league during the winter break and along with the Oleksandria club was the main contender for promotion. The second half of the season for Dnipro was terrible and they placed in the mid-table after the final round.

In 1993-94 season, the Ukrainian First League consists of the following teams:

The two clubs from the Second league returned for this season Khimik Zhytomyr and Dnipro Cherkasy. Because it was decided to increase the number of participants in the Supreme league from 16 to 18, no teams were relegated, thus decreasing number of participants in this league to 20.
