2022–23 Dhaka Third Division Football League (Bengali: ২০২২-২৩ ঢাকা তৃতীয় বিভাগ ফুটবল লিগ), officially known as Bashundhara Group Third Division (U-17) Football League 2022–23 due to sponsorship reasons and change of format, is the 2022–23 edition of the fifth-tier in the Bangladeshi football league system.

The previous edition of the league was not held as the Bangladesh Football Federation had initially decided to shut it down and merge it with the Dhaka Second Division Football League, in September 2022.[2] [3] However, it was later decided that the Dhaka Third Division would continue, with a new format which will see it become an U-17 football league. A total of 15 football clubs participated in the league.[4] [5] The season ran from 10 June 2023 to 23 August 2023.[6]

Alamgir Somaj Kallyan KS were the defending champions having won it in the 2019–20season.[7]
