1892–93 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season

The 1892–93 season was Burslem Port Vale's first season of football in the English Football League. The club were founding members of the Football League Second Division, the First Division having been in operation for four seasons before 1892–93. The club finished 11th in the league, accumulating 15 points from 6 wins, 3 draws, and 13 losses, with a goal difference of 30 scored to 57 conceded. Their highest home attendance was 2,000 against Darwen on 1 October 1892, while the lowest was 500 versus Grimsby Town on 17 February 1893.

In cup competitions, Vale were eliminated in the First Qualifying Round of the FA Cup by Burton Swifts, the Second Round of the Birmingham Senior Cup by Aston Villa, and the First Round of the Staffordshire Senior Cup by Burton Wanderers. Meshach Dean was the club's top scorer, netting six goals, with five of those in league matches. A 10–0 humiliation in a snowstorm at home to Sheffield United on 10 December 1892 remains a Football League record for a home defeat.

Other than the record defeat (which saw right-half Billy Delves play in goal) and two away performances where five goals were conceded, the Vale were competitive in most matches, winning three of their games by at least a three-goal margin. If not for the capitulation against Sheffield United, then the club would have had one of the better defensive records in the league. However, a run of one goal scored in five consecutive games highlighted their lack of offensive firepower. This run saw them lose eight of ten games.
