The 1922–23 season was Manchester City F.C.'s thirty-second season of league football, and ninth consecutive season in the Football League First Division, excluding the four years during the First World War in which no competitive football was played.

The following season the club made the transition to their new ground, Maine Road.Inglis, The Football Grounds of Great Britain (2nd ed.), p62
