The 2018–19 UMBC Retrievers women's basketball team represented the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Retrievers, initially led by 17th-year head coach Phil Stern, played their home games at UMBC Event Center in Catonsville, Maryland and were members of the America East Conference.

The Retrievers finished the season 10–20, 3–13 in America East play, to finish in a three-way tie for seventh place. They lost in the first round of the America East tournament to Hartford.

On February 22, 2019, Stern, who had been on administrative leave since December 13, 2018, announced his resignation from UMBC. Assistant coach Carlee Cassidy-Dewey served as interim head coach during Stern's initial leave, and continued in that role following his resignation.

Media All non-televised home games and conference road games streamed on either ESPN3 or AmericaEast.tv. Most road games streamed on the opponents' websites. Select games were broadcast on the radio on WQLL-1370 AM.
