The 2022–23 Leicester City W.F.C. season was the club's 19th season of existence and their second season in the Women's Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid. Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.

On 3 November 2022, Leicester sacked manager Lydia Bedford after 332 days in charge and promoted Willie Kirk to the role. He had joined the club as Director of Women's and Girls' Football in July 2022.[1]
