The 2022–23 season for the Philadelphia 76ers represented the franchise's 74th campaign competing in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Throughout the regular season, Philadelphia led the league in both free throw accuracy, converting 83.5%, and three-point shooting efficiency, making 38.7% of their attempts. The team clinched a spot in the playoffs on March 21, triggered by a Cleveland Cavaliers victory over the Brooklyn Nets. In the opening round of the 2023 NBA playoffs, the 76ers swept the Nets with a commanding 96–88 win.
For the third year running—and the fifth time within six seasons—the 76ers were ousted in the Eastern Conference semifinals by the Boston Celtics, falling in game 7 with a final score of 112–88.
This season also marked the conclusion of head coach Doc Rivers' tenure with Philadelphia; he was relieved of his duties on May 16, 2023.

The team maintained possession of their first-round selection in the 2022 NBA Draft. However, they traded away two second-round picks: number 50 went to the Minnesota Timberwolves (originally belonging to the Denver Nuggets), and pick number 51 was transferred to the Golden State Warriors (previously owned by the Toronto Raptors). Additionally, a second-round pick owed to the Miami Heat was forfeited as a penalty for tampering violations linked to free agency discussions involving Kyle Lowry.
