The 2023 Indiana Fever season was the franchise's 24th season in the Women's National Basketball Association, and their first season under new head coach Christie Sides.

The Fever named Sides their new head coach on November 4, 2022. She previously spent two seasons in Indiana as an assistant coach from 2018 to 2019.{{cite web |title=Christie Sides Introduced as Fever Head Coach |url=https://fever.wnba.com/news/christie-sides-introduced-as-fever-head-coach/ |website=fever.wnba.com |publisher=WNBA |access-date=20 November 2022}}

The Fever won the 2023 WNBA Draft Lottery and were awarded the first overall pick for the first time in franchise history, where the team selected Aliyah Boston.{{cite web |title=Indiana Fever Land No. 1 Overall Pick in 2023 WNBA Draft |url=https://fever.wnba.com/news/indiana-fever-land-no-1-overall-pick-in-2023-wnba-draft/ |website=fever.wnba.com |publisher=WNBA |access-date=20 November 2022}}

The Fever started the season slowly going 1–3 in May, with their one win coming against Atlanta. The Fever showed improvement in June, finishing the season 4–7. However, they won four of six games in the middle of the month and took Chicago to overtime. Their improvement did not persist into July however, as the team went 1–9, including an eight game losing streak that spanned June and July. The team turned their fortunes around in August and finished 5–5. The team did lose five of six games in the middle of the month, but finished the month on a three game winning streak. The Fever finished September 2–3, with both wins coming against playoff teams. Their .325 winning percentage was the best since 2019 and their thirteen wins were the most since 2019.
