The 1994 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 1994 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Gamecocks were led by first-year head coach Brad Scott and played their home games in Williams–Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.
With 48 upperclassmen returning, Scott's new pass-heavy offense, and decorated junior quarterback Steve Taneyhill, the Gamecocks went 6–5 in the regular season. This included a win over rival Clemson, only the second in seven seasons. Going into the 1995 Carquest Bowl against West Virginia, South Carolina had an all-time record of 0–8 in postseason games. The Gamecocks defeated the Mountaineers with a final score of 24–21, winning the first bowl game in school history. It was South Carolina's first winning season since 1990 and the seven wins were the most since 1988.
