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. McCorkle was later promoted from interim head coach to permanent head coach on October 19. 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. 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.
