The 1993 Icelandic Cup was the 34th edition of the National Football Cup.

It took place between 25 May 1993 and 29 August 1993, with the final played at Laugardalsvöllur in Reykjavík.[1] [2] The cup was important, as winners qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (if a club won both the league and the cup, the defeated finalists would take their place in the Cup Winners' Cup).

The 10 clubs from the 1. Deild entered in the last 16, with clubs from lower tiers entering in the three preliminary rounds. Teams played one-legged matches. In case of a draw, a penalty shoot-out took place (there were no replays, unlike in previous years).

ÍA, 1993 Icelandic Champions, won the double by beating Keflavík in the final to win their sixth Icelandic Cup, and qualify for Europe.
