The 1994 LPGA Championship was the 40th LPGA Championship, played May 12–15 at DuPont Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware.

Laura Davies shot a final round 68 to win the first of her two LPGA Championship titles, three strokes ahead of runner-up Alice Ritzman. ^{[1] [2]} It was the second of her four major titles.

This was the first of eleven consecutive LPGA Championships at DuPont, which had hosted the McDonald's Championship, a regular tour event, the previous seven seasons. McDonald's sponsored the LPGA Championship for sixteen editions, from 1994 through 2009. ^[3]

Davies had won the regular tour event at DuPont the previous year for consecutive victories at the course.
