The 2023–24 Southern Miss Lady Eagles basketball team represents the University of Southern Mississippi during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The team is led by twentieth-year head coach Joye Lee-McNelis, and plays their home games at the Reed Green Coliseum in Hattiesburg, Mississippi as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.

Previous season

The Lady Eagles finished as co-conference season champions for the 2022–23 basketball season. They lost in the conference tournament to Texas State 85–57 and were unable to secure a bid into the NCAA tournament.

Despite her recurring battle with lung cancer, head coach Lee-McNelis stated that she would be back to coach the 2023–24 season.[1]
