The 2019–20 Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball team represented the University of Tennessee in the 2019–20 college basketball season. Led by former Lady Vol Kellie Harper, entering her first year as head coach, the team played their games at Thompson–Boling Arena and were members of the Southeastern Conference.

In the December 12 win against Colorado State, junior Rennia Davis scored her 1,000th career point. She finished the night with 1,007, and the 45th Lady Vol to surpass the mark.

The Lady Vols ended the regular season and received a first-round bye in the SEC tournament, defeated Missouri in the second round, but lost to Kentucky in the quarterfinals.

The 2018–19 team finished the season 19–13, 7–9 for a seventh-place tie in SEC play. They lost in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament to Mississippi State. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament where they lost to UCLA in the first round. At the completion of the season, Holly Warlick was fired as head coach. Harper, who was a point guard during Tennessee's three-peat from 1996 to 1998, was hired as her replacement on April 8, 2019.

The SEC media poll was released on October 15, 2019, with Tennessee predicted to finish sixth.
