The 2023 Montreal Alouettes season was the 56th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 68th overall. The Alouettes qualified for the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season following their week 17 win over the Ottawa Redblacks.[1] The team defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to win their eighth Grey Cup championship.

The 2023 CFL season was the third season with Danny Maciocia as the team's general manager,[2] and the first season with a new head coach after both Maciocia and the team's president, Mario Cecchini, stated that a new coach would be hired following Maciocia's interim appointment in the position in 2022.[3] On December 8, 2022, the Alouettes had announced that the five candidates that were interviewed were Byron Archambault, André Bolduc, Anthony Calvillo, Jason Maas, and Noel Thorpe.[4] On December 17, 2022, it was announced that Maas had been named the 27th head coach in franchise history.[5]
