The 2018–19 Utah Utes women's basketball team represented the University of Utah during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Utes, led by fourth year head coach Lynne Roberts, played their home games at the Jon M. Huntsman Center and were members of the Pac-12 Conference. They finished the season 20–10, 9–9 in Pac-12 play to finish in a tie for sixth place. They lost in the first round of the Pac-12 women's tournament to Washington. They would have clinched the automatic berth to the 2019 Women's National Invitation Tournament, but they declined to participate despite having 20 wins.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sltrib.com/sports/utah-utes/2019/03/08/worn-down-ute-womens/|title=Worn-down Ute women's basketball team will halt its season, turning down a WNIT bid}}
