The 1993 Chicago White Sox season was the White Sox' 94th season. They finished with a record of 94–68, good enough for first place in the American League West, which they won on September 27, eight games ahead of the second-place Texas Rangers. However, they lost the American League Championship Series in six games to the eventual World Series champion Toronto Blue Jays. It would be the last year the Sox would compete in the American League West, as they would join the newly formed American League Central in 1994.
