† 2024 Southland tournament winner

The 2023–24 Texas A&M–Commerce Lions women's basketball team represented Texas A&M University–Commerce in the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Lions, led by first-year head coach Valerie King, played their home games at Texas A&M–Commerce Field House in Commerce, Texas, as members of the Southland Conference (SLC). They compiled a 15–16 overall record and an 8–10 record in conference play. Their season ended with a semifinal loss to Lamar in the SLC tournament.

This season marked Texas A&M–Commerce's second year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lions were not eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season.
