The 1994 NAIA Division I women's basketball tournament was the tournament held by the NAIA to determine the national champion of women's college basketball among its Division II members in the United States and Canada for the 1993–94 basketball season.
This was the third NAIA women's tournament held exclusively for Division II teams.
Northern State (SD) defeated defending champions Western Oregon in the championship game, 48–45, to claim the Wolves' second NAIA national title.
The tournament was played at the Physical Education Building at Western Oregon State College in Monmouth, Oregon.[1]
The tournament field expanded for the first time, increasing from 20 to 24 teams. The top twelve teams received seeds, with the top eight receiving a bye to the second round. The remaining lowest-ranked teams were placed in the preliminary first round.
The tournament utilized a single-elimination format.
