The 2024–25 UT Martin Skyhawks women's basketball team represented the University of Tennessee at Martin during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Skyhawks, who were led by 16th-year head coach Kevin McMillan, played their home games at Skyhawk Arena in Martin, Tennessee as members of the Ohio Valley Conference.
Previous season The Skyhawks finished the 2023–24 season 16–17, 11–7 in OVC play, to finish in a three-way tie for second place. They defeated Tennessee Tech, Little Rock, before falling to Southern Indiana in the OVC tournament championship game. Despite the loss, the Skyhawks earned the OVC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, due to Southern Indiana being ineligible due to the mandatory transition period from DII. They received the #16 seed in the Albany Regional 2, where they would fall to fellow #16 seed Holy Cross in the First Four.
