2018–19 Ball State Cardinals women's basketball team

The 2018–19 Ball State Cardinals women's basketball team will represent Ball State University during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I women's basketball season.

They seek to qualify for the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament for the second time and the first time since 2009 but unfortunately they finished the season 8–23, 3–15 in MAC play to finish in last place in the West Division. They lost in the first of the MAC Women's Tournament to Toledo.
