The 2022–23 Stanford Cardinal men's basketball team represented Stanford University during the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Cardinal, led by seventh-year head coach Jerod Haase, competed as a member of the Pac-12 Conference. They played home games at Maples Pavilion.

Previous season

The Cardinal started the 2021-22 campaign off on the right foot winning 12 of their first 18 games with an upset win over, at the time, #15 ranked USC Trojans. They would only win three of the final 12 conference games, finishing off the regular season at 15-15 with an 8–12 conference record finishing 9th in the Pac-12.

In the Pac-12 tournament, the Cardinal would face the Sun Devils in the 8/9 match-up. They would go on to beat the Sun Devils 71-70 on a James Keefe jumper in the paint as time expired. In the Quarterfinal round, the Cardinal would go on to face the number one seed Arizona, growing and holding a four point lead into the late second half, until Arizona pulled ahead with a little over three minutes left in the game and would never look back.

The Cardinal finished the 2021–22 season with an even 16–16 record.
