The 2023 Patriot League women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Patriot League held from October 29 through November 5, 2023. The tournament was held at campus sites, with the higher seeded team hosting. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Bucknell Bison. Bucknell successfully defended their title, defeating regular season champions Army, who were the #1 seed, in a penalty shootout in the final. This was the second straight final that featured Bucknell and Army, with both going to penalties. The conference championship was the seventh for the Bucknell women's soccer program, five of which have come under head coach Kelly Cook. This was also the third straight championship for Bucknell. As tournament champions, Bucknell earned the Patriot League's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament.

Seeding

Seeding was based on regular season play with the top six teams qualifying for the tournament. The top two seeds received a bye to the Semifinals of the tournament and the higher seed hosted each match. A tiebreaker was required as Bucknell and Loyola Maryland both finished with eighteen points after conference play. Bucknell was awarded the second seed by virtue of their 1–0 regular season victory on October 11. A second tiebreaker was required to determine the final team in the tournament as American and Colgate both finished the season with ten points in conference play. Colgate was awarded the sixth and final seed by virtue of their 2–0 regular season victory on October 7.
