The 2023–24 Sacred Heart Pioneers women's basketball team represented Sacred Heart University (SHU) during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Pioneers, led by 11th-year head coach Jessica Mannetti, played their home games at the William H. Pitt Center in Fairfield, Connecticut as members of the Northeast Conference (NEC).
The Pioneers finished the season 24–10, 15–1 in NEC play, to finish as NEC regular-season champions. They defeated Saint Francis, Merrimack and Le Moyne to win the NEC tournament championship for the second year in a row, and, in turn, earned the NEC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. They received the #16 seed in the Albany Regional 1, where they were defeated by Presbyterian in the First Four.
This was the Pioneers' final season in the NEC. On October 25, 2023, SHU and the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference jointly announced that the university would join that conference on July 1, 2024.
