The 1992–93 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 23rd staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship ran from 27 September 1992 to 17 March 1993.

Kiltormer were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten in the 1992 Galway SHC.[1][2] Erin's Own of Cork, Ballyheigue of Kerry and Wolfe Tones of Longford made their championship debuts.[3][4]

The All-Ireland final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 17 March 1993, between Sarsfields of Galway and Kilmallock of Limerick, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams. Sarsfields won the match by 1–17 to 2–07 to claim a first title.[5][6]

Kilmallock's Paddy Kelly was the championship's top scorer with 6–23.
