The 2023 Dartmouth Big Green football team represented Dartmouth College in the 2023 NCAA Division I FCS football season as a member of the Ivy League. The team was to be led by 23rd-year head coach Buddy Teevens, but interim head coach Sammy McCorkle took over play-calling as Teevens recovered from injuries sustained in a bicycle crash which ultimately took his life.^[1] McCorkle was later promoted from interim head coach to permanent head coach on October 19.^[2] With three straight conference victories against Princeton, Cornell, and Brown in the final three weeks of the season, in combination with a Yale victory over Harvard in the season's final week, the Dartmouth Big Green won a share of the Ivy League title.^[3] They played their home games at Memorial Field.

Following the season's conclusion, Sammy McCorkle was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year for 2023. Additionally, nine Dartmouth players won a total of ten all-Ivy League selections, tying with Harvard, Yale, and Penn. Offensive lineman Nick Schwitzgebel, defensive lineman Charlie Looes, and kicker Owen Zalc won first-team honors. Receiver Paxton Scott, defensive lineman Josiah Green, linebackers Macklin Ayers and Marques White, and Sean Williams (as both defensive back and right safety) won second-team honors. Offensive lineman Delby Lemieux and Kyle Brown, quarterback Nick Howard, running back Q Jones, and tight end Nic Sani received honorable mentions.^[4]
