The 2022–23 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship was the 52nd staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club Gaelic football tournament. The draws for the respective provincial championships took place at various stages between June and September 2022. The competition ran from 22 October 2022 to 22 January 2023.
The defending champion was Kilcoo; however, the club lost to Glen in the Ulster Club SFC final.
Kilmacud Crokes defeated Glen by 1–11 to 1–9 in the final at Croke Park to win the competition.
However, Kilmacud Crokes finished the game with an extra player on the pitch, causing significant controversy. The GAA ordered a replay of the final after Glen lodged an objection. After Kilmacud Crokes lodged an appeal against a replay, Glen withdrew from the appeals process, saying that they "do not believe the conditions exist for a replay"; this resulted in Kilmacud keeping the title.
