The 1993 Players Championship was a golf tournament in Florida on the PGA Tour, held March 25–28 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, southeast of Jacksonville. It was the twentieth Players Championship.

Nick Price set a scoring record of 270 (−18) at the Stadium Course and finished five strokes ahead of runner-up Bernhard Langer.[2][3] Price bettered the previous record by three strokes, set by Mark McCumber in 1988 and equaled by Davis Love III in 1992.[2] Price's record was short-lived, as Greg Norman broke it by six strokes with 264 (−24) the following year.

Defending champion Davis Love III finished 23 strokes back, in a tie for 67th place.
