2019–20 USC Trojans women's basketball team

The 2019–20 USC Trojans Women's Basketball team represented the University of Southern California during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Trojans played their home games at the Galen Center and were members of the Pac-12 Conference. The squad was led by head coach Mark Trakh, who was in his 3rd year of his 2nd stint (8th year overall) with the Women of Troy. The season ended abruptly after the Pac-12 Tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team was expected to participate in the WNIT, but it was canceled.
