The 2023–24 North Florida Ospreys women's basketball team represents the University of North Florida during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Ospreys, led by first-year head coach Erika Lambert, play their home games at the UNF Arena in Jacksonville, Florida as members of the ASUN Conference.

Previous season

The Ospreys finished the 2022–23 season 8–20, 5–13 in ASUN play to finish in a tie for 11th place.[1] They failed to qualify for the ASUN tournament, as only the top 10 teams qualify.[2]

On March 2, 2023, the school announced that Darrick Gibbs would not be returning as the team's head coach, following eight season at the helm.[3] On April 7, Abilene Christian assistant coach Erika Lambert was named the team's new head coach.[4]
