The 2022–23 Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball team represented Texas Tech University in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The Red Raiders were led by second-year coach Mark Adams. They played their home games at the United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas.

The day after the Red Raiders' final regular season game, Mark Adams was suspended for what the school called an "inappropriate, unacceptable, and racially insensitive comment" that he had made the previous week.[1] On March 8, 2023, Adams resigned.[2] On March 31, the school named North Texas head coach Grant McCasland the team's new head coach.[3]
The Red Raiders finished the 2021–22 season 27–10, 12–6 in Big 12 play to finish in third place.
