The 2023 Houston Dynamo season was the 18th season of the team's existence since joining Major League Soccer (MLS) prior to the 2006 season. The Dynamo missed the playoffs in 2022 for the eighth time in nine years.

2023 was the first season under head coach Ben Olsen, who was hired on November 8, 2022.{{Cite web |date=November 8, 2022 |title=Houston Dynamo FC hire Ben Olsen as head coach |url=https://www.houstondynamofc.com/news/houston-dynamo-fc-hire-ben-olsen-as-head-coach |access-date=February 9, 2023 |website=Houston Dynamo FC}} It was the second season under GM Pat Onstad and technical director Asher Mendelsohn. It was the third season (second full season) under majority owner Ted Segal. 2023 saw the Dynamo qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2017 after finishing 4th in the Western Conference. There they would advance past Real Salt Lake in the first round 2 games to 1 in a best of 3 series and defeat Sporting Kansas City 1–0 to advance to the Conference Finals, where they would fall 2–1 to LAFC. The season was highlighted by the club's second ever Open Cup title, winning 2–1 at Inter Miami in the final.

Team captain Héctor Herrera set a club record for assists in a season with 21 and was the first Dynamo player included in the MLS Best XI since Brad Davis in 2011.{{Cite web |date=November 28, 2023 |title=Héctor Herrera named to 2023 MLS Best XI, presented by Continental Tire |url=https://www.houstondynamofc.com/news/hector-herrera-named-to-2023-mls-best-xi-presented-by-continental-tire#:~:text=H%C3%A9ctor%20Herrera%20named%20to%202023%20MLS%20Best%20XI%2C%20presented%20by%20Continental%20Tire,-Tuesday%2C%20Nov%2028&text=HOUSTON%20(Tuesday%2C%20Nov.,XI%2C%20presented%20by%20Continental%20Tire. |access-date=December 12, 2023 |website=Houston Dynamo}}
