The 1993–94 Winnipeg Jets season was the Jets' 22nd season, their 15th in the National Hockey League. The Jets finished twelfth in the conference and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
With the NHL undergoing a massive realignment during the 1993 off-season, the Jets were moved from the Smythe Division into the newly created Central Division in the Western Conference. Joining the Jets in the Central Division were the Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues and Toronto Maple Leafs. The NHL also changed their playoff format, as the top eight teams in each conference would qualify for the post-season, instead of the top four teams in each division.
On June 11, 1993, the Jets acquired Stephane Beauregard from the Philadelphia Flyers for future considerations. Beauregard, who played with Winnipeg from 1989-1992, had a 3-9-0 record and a 4.41 GAA in 16 games in the 1992-93 season with Philadelphia. On the same day, the Jets acquired Paul Ysebaert and Alan Kerr from the Detroit Red Wings for Aaron Ward and the Jets fourth round draft pick in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. Ysebaert had 34 goals and 62 points in 80 games with the Red Wings in 1992-93, and in 1991-92, Ysebaert had a league best +44 rating with the Red Wings. Kerr had three goals and 11 points in 58 games with the Red Wings in 1992-93.
