The 1992–93 UEFA Champions League, originally known as the 1992–93 European Cup, was the 38th European Cup, the premier European club football tournament, and the first season with the UEFA Champions League branding (originally adopted only in the group stage).{{cite book |last=Thibert |first=Jacques |title=L'album 93 du football |year=1993 |publisher=Scaneditons |isbn=2-209-06811-8 }}

It was the second season of the competition in which the eight second round winners would be split into two groups, with the winner of each one meeting in the final. In addition, a preliminary round was required as this was the first season after the break-up of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, resulting in many new countries eligible to enter the champions of their own leagues into the competition. Israel and the Faroe Islands were also represented for the first time.

The tournament was won for the first time by Marseille, defeating AC Milan in the final, becoming the first French team to win the European Cup/Champions League.

However, soon after Marseille's victory allegations of match fixing were levelled at them and their president Bernard Tapie. This involved a league game that took place 6 days before the final where Marseille, it emerged, had fixed their title-clinching Division 1 game against Valenciennes so they could concentrate on the final against Milan. It is believed that Tapie bribed Valenciennes to lose so that Marseille would win the French league earlier, and above all that they would not injure the Marseille players before the final against Milan. Before the 1991 European Cup final against Red Star Belgrade, Marseille had a few injured players, Tapie did not want to repeat this mistake. This resulted in Marseille being stripped of their league title by the French Football Federation (although not the European Cup, as the match in question was not in that competition). They were banned from defending their European title in the 1993–94 season, and contesting the Intercontinental Cup and Super Cup. During the 1995 trial over Marseille's financial accounts, it was revealed that they had an annual budget of Fr5 million (about €760,000) dedicated to the purchase of matches from 1989 to 1993. UEFA, along with the French Federation and French authorities, investigated several Marseille matches during the 1992–93 season. These investigations have not established any formal proof concerning alleged match-fixing in the Champions League. Therefore, Marseille's status as 1993 European champion was not affected.{{cite news| url=http://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/894439/rewind-to-1993-the-shame-of-marseille| title=The shame of Marseille| last=Adams| first=Tom| work=ESPN FC| date=10 March 2011| access-date=9 July 2016| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310194449/http://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/894439/rewind-to-1993-the-shame-of-marseille| archive-date=10 March 2016| url-status=dead}}

The teams were ranked according to their 1992 UEFA seeding coefficients, which took into account performances in European competitions from 1987–88 to 1991–92. Each club and national association had a seeding coefficient calculated (total points divided by total matches), with both values added together to determine the club's final coefficient. This ranking then determined the round each team would enter.{{cite web |url=http://www.mogiel.net/EC/seeding.php#1992/93 |title=Seeding for the European Cups (from 1979/80): 1992/93 |publisher=Pawel Mogielnicki |access-date=29 January 2025}}{{cite web |url=http://www.mogiel.net/EC/remarks.php |title=Remarks to the UEFA tables |publisher=Pawel Mogielnicki |access-date=29 January 2025}}
