The 2022–23 Gibraltar Women's Football League was the seventh season of 11-a-side women's football in Gibraltar since the territory joined UEFA in 2013, and FIFA in 2016. The league had been in operation for a number of years previously, but often as a 9-a side tournament. Teams are ineligible for entry to the UEFA Women's Champions League as the league is considered a "development" tournament. Lions Gibraltar are the reigning champions from the previous season.[https://www.chronicle.gi/lions-women-unbeaten-champions/ Lions Women unbeaten champions] Gibraltar Chronicle. 9 March 2022. Retrieved 23 September 2022. The league kicked off on 28 September 2022,[https://www.gibraltarfa.com/news/womens-league-kicks-off-this-month-495 Women's League kicks off this month] Gibraltar FA. 22 September 2022. Retrieved 23 September 2022. in a reduced format where teams only played each other twice, due to the scheduled demolition of Victoria Stadium to make room for the new Gibraltar National Stadium in 2023.

Teams
