The 1992–93 Football League Trophy, known as the 1992–93 Autoglass Trophy for sponsorship reasons, was the 10th staging of the Football League Trophy, a knock-out competition for English football clubs in the Second and Third Divisions (now known as League One and Two).

The winners were Port Vale, who defeated Stockport County 2–1 in the final.

The competition began on 1 December 1992 and ended with the final on 22 May 1993.

The tournament begins with clubs divided into a Northern and a Southern section, and teams entering a group stage. Each section then gradually eliminates the qualifying teams in knock-out fashion until each has a winning finalist. At this point, the two winning finalists face each other in the combined final for the honour of the trophy.
