The 2022–23 season was the 124th season in the existence of Cardiff City Football Club and the club's fourth consecutive season in the Championship. In addition to the league, they also competed in the 2022–23 FA Cup and the 2022–23 EFL Cup.

The Bluebirds finished the season with 49 points. This ultimately proved enough to secure them 21st place and preserve their Championship status, albeit only on account of relegation rivals Reading being assessed a six point deduction.
