The 1993–94 California Golden Bears men's basketball team represented the University of California, Berkeley in the 1993–94 season.
Led by head coach Todd Bozeman, the Bears finished the regular season with a record of 22–7, and a record of 13–5 in the Pac-10, placing them second. The Bears received an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament where they fell in the first round to Green Bay. Following the season, Sophomore guard Jason Kidd declared eligibility for the NBA draft, and began a career in which he played for the Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets, Phoenix Suns, and New York Knicks. In his NBA career, Kidd became a consistent all-star and won one NBA Championship, in 2011. In 2018, Kidd was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame.
