The 2023–24 Marshall Thundering Herd women's basketball team represented Marshall University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Thundering Herd, led by first-year head coach Kim Caldwell, played their home games at Cam Henderson Center in Huntington, West Virginia as members of the Sun Belt Conference. They finished the season 26–7, 17–1 in Sun Belt play, to finish in first place. In the Sun Belt tournament, they defeated Appalachian State, Old Dominion and James Madison to become champions. They received the Sun Belt's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament where, as a No. 13 seed, they lost to No. 4 seed Virginia Tech in the first round.
After the season, head coach Kim Caldwell left to become the head coach at Tennessee. Marshall hired Transylvania University head coach Juli Fulks as her replacement.{{cite web |last=Carey |first=Greg |title=Marshall selects Juli Fulks as women’s basketball coach |url=https://wvmetronews.com/2024/04/12/marshall-selects-juli-fulks-as-womens-basketball-coach/ |website=WV Metro News |date=April 12, 2024 |access-date=April 12, 2024}}
