During the 1993–94 English football season, West Ham United F.C. competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary

West Ham United made a sound return to the top flight a year after being relegated, as they overcame the sale of 25-year-old captain Julian Dicks to Liverpool and achieved a 13th place finish in the Premiership. Their form throughout the season was solid and they were never seriously threatened by relegation, and they even finished above their expensively-assembled local rivals Tottenham. The veteran striker-partnership of Trevor Morley and Lee Chapman scored goals at a decent rate and rarely showed much sign of their age - 32 and 34 respectively. It was a solid season from a hard-working but unremarkable squad who defied the odds to keep clear of trouble without making a serious bid for honours.
