The 1994 Chicago Bears season was their 75th regular season completed in the National Football League (NFL). The Bears finished with a 9–7 record under head coach Dave Wannstedt for their first winning season since the end of the 1991 season. The club was one of four teams from the NFC Central to make the playoffs. This was also the NFL's 75th Anniversary so the Bears wore 1920s-era throwback jerseys in a few games. The Bears celebrated their first playoff win since January 6, 1991, with a hard-fought road victory over the NFC Central champion Minnesota Vikings 35–18 before being knocked out by the eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers 44–15 at Candlestick Park.
This season was the Bears' final playoff appearance until 2001, and last playoff victory until 2006, marking the beginning of a period of under performance for the franchise.
