The 2023–24 Coupe de France was the 107th season of the main football cup competition of France. The competition was organised by the French Football Federation (FFF) and is open to all clubs in French football, as well as clubs from the overseas departments and territories (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia, Tahiti, Réunion, Saint Martin, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon).
The defending champions Toulouse, who beat Nantes 5–1 in the previous year's final to claim their first Coupe de France title, were eliminated in the round of 32 by third-tier FC Rouen.
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Lyon 2–1 in the final for a record-extending fifteenth Coupe de France title.
Dates Dates for the first two qualifying rounds, and any preliminaries required, were set by the individual Regional leagues. From round three, the FFF defined the calendar, with rounds up to and including the round of 32 being scheduled for weekends and later rounds up to, but not including, the final, taking place on midweek evenings.

Round 8 The eighth round ties for mainland matches were defined at the same time as the seventh round draw. The winners of the seventh round matches in Martinique and Guadeloupe played their eighth round matches at home against teams from mainland France, from a prioritised list of teams who were both willing to travel and still in the competition. If the team from Tahiti were to win their seventh round tie, this eighth round match would take place overseas, and be drawn from the same list. Teams from Réunion and French Guiana were slotted into the draw where gaps appeared due to mainland teams being selected to travel overseas.
Prioritised order of mainland teams The prioritised list of mainland teams willing to travel overseas was published on 31 October 2023, along with the priority list of ties they would be allocated to should they remain in the competition beyond the seventh round.

The Overseas tie involving the team from New Caledonia was drawn separately on 31 October 2023, against a team from the list of those willing to travel.
