The 1993–94 Ottawa Senators season was the club's second season. It was an improvement by the club, as they finished with 13 more points than in the 1992–93 expansion season, as the club ended the season with a 14–61–9 record for 37 points, however, they would finish with the worst record in hockey for the 2nd straight year.

Alexei Yashin, the Senators 1st pick in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft, had a very promising rookie season, setting franchise records with 30 goals, 49 assists, and 79 points. Alexandre Daigle, whom the Senators drafted with the 1st overall pick in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, also had a very solid rookie season, recording 20 goals, 31 assists and 51 points to finish 2nd to Yashin in team scoring.

Midway through the season, the Senators traded Bob Kudelski, who was by far the best player on the team, registering 41 points (26 goals and 15 assists) in 42 games, to the Florida Panthers for Evgeny Davydov and Scott Levins. The trade hurt the Senators as Davydov struggled with the team, while Levins production also dropped after the deal.

Craig Billington played the majority of games in the Senators net, as he was acquired from the New Jersey Devils in a deal that sent Peter Sidorkiewicz to New Jersey, and Billington would go on and set the team record for wins in a season with 11.
