The 1993 NHL entry draft was the 31st draft for the National Hockey League. It took place on June 26, 1993, at the Colisée de Québec in Quebec City.
Alexandre Daigle, the first overall pick, is widely regarded as one of the all-time greatest draft busts in NHL history. Regarding his draft position, Daigle uttered the now infamous comment, "I'm glad I got drafted first, because no one remembers number two". Chris Pronger, selected after Daigle with the second overall pick by the Hartford Whalers, was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2015.
The last active player in the NHL from the 1993 NHL entry draft was Kimmo Timonen, who retired after the 2014–15 season.
