The 1992–93 season was the seventy-first season of competitive association football and sixty-fourth season in the Football League played by York City Football Club, a professional football club based in York, North Yorkshire, England. They finished in fourth position in the twenty-two-team 1992–93 Football League Third Division, qualifying for the play-offs. They were successful in the final, beating Crewe Alexandra in a penalty shoot-out to gain promotion into the Football League Second Division.

They lost in the first rounds in both the 1992–93 FA Cup and Football League Cup, being knocked out by Stockport County and Chesterfield respectively, and failed to progress past the preliminary round of the Associate Members' Cup.

Twenty players made at least one appearance in nationally organised first-team competition, and there were eleven different goalscorers. Defenders Wayne Hall and Andy McMillan and midfielder Jon McCarthy played in all fifty first-team matches over the season. Paul Barnes finished as leading goalscorer with twenty-one goals, all scored in the league. The winner of the Clubman of the Year award was Paul Stancliffe.
