1993–94 Queens Park Rangers F.C. season

During the 1993–94 English football season, Queens Park Rangers F.C. competed in the Premier League. They finished the season in 9th place.

Season summary Queens Park Rangers finished ninth in the league table, a year after they had finished above all the other London clubs in fifth place. Manager Gerry Francis was even linked with the England job when Graham Taylor quit, but it went to Terry Venables - a former QPR manager himself.

Striker Les Ferdinand was the leading scorer, and his performances attracted transfer speculation and discussion of an England call-up. The rest of the squad performed solidly without attracting many headlines.

Kit Clubhouse become QPR's new kit manufacturers and electronics company CSF became new kit sponsors.
