† 2020 Big Ten tournament winner As of December 12, 2024 Rankings from AP poll

The 2019–20 Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball team represented the University of Iowa during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Hawkeyes, led by 20th year head coach Lisa Bluder, played their home games at Carver–Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, IA as members of the Big Ten Conference.^[1]

On March 12, 2020, the NCAA canceled the 2020 women's basketball tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[2] At the time this cancellation was announced, Iowa had yet to qualify or be selected for tournament play.

The Hawkeyes ended the year with a 23–7 record, an undefeated record on home-court (extending their streak to a total of 36 consecutive wins), and a third-place finish in the regular season in the Big Ten Conference.^[3]
