† 2024 ACC tournament winner Rankings from AP poll

The 2023–24 Clemson Tigers women's basketball team represented Clemson University during the 2023–24 college basketball season. The Tigers were led by sixth year head coach Amanda Butler. The Tigers, members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, played their home games at Littlejohn Coliseum.

Clemson started the season with three straight wins, but ended their streak with a loss to rival South Carolina. They won their next game before only winning one of three games at their early season tournament, the Van Chancellor Classic. They lost to Auburn in the ACC–SEC Challenge before having an early season ACC game. They upset Duke in that December ACC game. In their remaining non-conference games, the Tigers won two and lost one. They had a final non-conference record of 7–5, with two of those five losses coming to ranked teams. They lost their next seven ACC regular season games, with five of those losses coming to teams ranked at the time, and one to Syracuse, who became ranked the week after facing Clemson. The Tigers won their next three games. However, they could not keep the streak going, losing to Miami in overtime and to Georgia Tech by just one point. Their losing streak continued to five games before they defeated Wake Forest in the penultimate game of the season. In the final game of the season, they took Florida State to overtime, but could not prevail in the extra period.

The Tigers finished the season 13–18 overall and 5–13 in ACC play to finish in a tie for twevlth place. As the twelfth seed in the ACC tournament, they lost to Boston College in the First Round. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament or the WBIT. After the season Clemson parted ways with head coach Amanda Butler.^[1]
