The 1993–94 Iraqi National Clubs League (First Division) was the 20th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974. The league title was won by Al-Zawraa for the fifth time in their history, and they also won the Iraq FA Cup to secure the double. The top scorer, Younis Abid Ali, set a record for the most goals scored in one league season in Iraq (36) which still stands today.
Al-Zawraa lost only one match out of 50, and were unbeaten for their last 38 matches consecutively. They went one more game unbeaten at the start of the 1994–95 season, completing a record 39-match unbeaten streak in the league; this record was equalled by Al-Shorta in 2019.[1][2]

(C) Champions; (R) Relegated
Notes:
- ^ Al-Talaba qualified for the Cup Winners' Cup as runners-up of the Iraq FA Cup, won by Al-Zawraa.
- ^ The two lowest-placed teams from Baghdad (Al-Shabab and Al-Khutoot) were relegated to ensure that the other provinces in the league would continue to be represented by at least one club for the next season.
- ^ Originally, the Iraq U19 team participated in the league. Their record was 25 games, 8 wins, 8 draws, 9 losses, 33 goals scored, 29 goals conceded and 24 points. At the halfway stage of the season, they were replaced by Babil, and Babil adopted the U19 team's record at that point.
