The 1993–94 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers 27th season in the National Hockey League (NHL).

For 1993–94, Terry Simpson was hired as the new head coach in hopes that the Flyers would finally return to playoff contention after four consecutive off-years. Simpson named Kevin Dineen captain, and made Lindros an alternate captain to groom him for a leadership role. Mark Recchi would record 107 points (40 goals, 67 assists) and Eric Lindros 97 (44 goals, 53 assists). Rod Brind'Amour improved with another 97 (35 goals, 62 assists) and Mikael Renberg set a Flyers rookie record with 82 points. Offense was generated as the Flyers had four 30-goal scorers for the second-straight season[2] and averaged 3.5 goals per game, but they still failed to clinch a playoff berth, again falling four points short of the final playoff spot. Jay Snider stepped down as President, forcing his father Ed Snider to take over day-to-day operations. The elder Snider had decided he had seen enough of Russ Farwell as GM, and began courting Bob Clarke to leave his GM post with Florida to return to Philadelphia. Farwell's last move as GM was firing Simpson after a lackluster performance.
