The 2024–25 SMU Mustangs women's basketball team represented Southern Methodist University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Mustangs were led by fourth-year head coach Toyelle Wilson and played their home games at Moody Coliseum in University Park, Texas. They competed as first year members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Mustangs started the season 2–1 before taking a trip to Arizona to face their first Power 4 opponents of the year. There, they lost two games against Arizona State and Minnesota. They returned home and went on a three game winning streak, including an overtime victory over Lamar. They lost their next two games, their ACC–SEC Challenge game against Missouri and their ACC season opener against Florida State. The Mustangs would go on to win five of their next six games, and their only loss of the stretch was against number twenty California. They defeated Power 4 opponent Texas Tech, and won conference games against Stanford and Syracuse. The overtime victory against Syracuse was their last win of the season. They ended the season on a fourteen game losing streak. The closest games of the stretch were a one point loss to number seventeen Georgia Tech and one point loss against Pittsburgh.

The Mustangs finished the season 10–20 and 2–16 in ACC play to finish in a tie for seventeenth place. Under the new ACC tournament rules, they did not qualify for the 2025 ACC tournament. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament or the WBIT.
