The 1993 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships took place February 19-28, 1993 in Falun, Sweden for the third time (1954, 1974). This event saw the creation of the combined pursuit where competitors would skate one distance in the classical interval style (10 km: men, 5 km: women) one day, then follow the next day in the freestyle pursuit (15 km: men, 10 km: women) with the first distance winner going first in the pursuit. Additionally it was the first competition since the breakup of the Soviet Union in late 1991 and the first competition with Czechoslovakia having been split up as the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Japan's four minute victory margin at this event, followed by their nearly five minute victory at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer the following year, would lead the FIS to change the nordic combined team event from a 3 x 10 km relay to a 4 x 5 km relay that would become effective at the 1995 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Thunder Bay and the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. This was in an effort to lessen the emphasis on the ski jumping part of the competition.
