The 1993 UMass Minutemen football team represented the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the 1993 NCAA Division I-AA football season as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference. The team was coached by Mike Hodges and played its home games at Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium in Hadley, Massachusetts. The 1993 season was notable due to a mid-season overseas matchup with rival Rhode Island.

(This is FALSE -- UMass - Rhode Island game in Ireland was announced, but never took place. The 1993 game was played in Amherst).
