The 2023–24 season was the 149th season in the history of Aston Villa Football Club, their fifth consecutive season in the Premier League, and their 110th overall season in the top flight of English football. In addition to playing in the domestic league, the club participated in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa Conference League, the latter being their first European campaign since the 2010–11 season.

On 14 May 2024, the club officially clinched fourth place in the league and qualification to the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 1982–83 season, when it was still known as the European Cup.[1] This league marked the highest Aston Villa Premier League finish since 1995–96.
