1993–94 West Midlands (Regional) League

The 1993–94 West Midlands (Regional) League season was the 94th in the history of the West Midlands (Regional) League, an English association football competition for semi-professional and amateur teams based in the West Midlands county, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and southern Staffordshire.

At the end of the season Midland Football Alliance were to be created.

Thus, the league became Midland Alliance feeder and downgraded to ninth level of the overall English football league system.
