The 2023–24 Orlando Magic season was the 35th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association. This is Orlando's third season with Jamahl Mosley as head coach. With a win over the Detroit Pistons on March 3, the Magic would collect their 35th win on the season and improve on their win total from their previous season.
The Magic started out their season hot by having a record of 13–5 in the month of November, but after struggles in the months of December and January, their record dropped to 25–23, but then they rebounded going 22–12 in their next three months, helping their record improve to 47–35, making them improve from their 34–48 record from last season by 13 wins, and giving them a winning season for the first time in five seasons. Their 47 wins was the most the Magic have had in a season since 2010–11.
Paolo Banchero was named to the 2024 NBA All-Star team making him the 9th player in Orlando Magic history to be given the honors, and the first since Nikola Vucevic in 2021.
On the last day of the NBA's regular season, the Magic would clinch their first playoff berth since the bubble-shortened 2019–20 season and would win the Southeast division for the first time since the 2018–19 season. The Magic faced the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round, where they lost in seven games.
The Orlando Magic drew an average home attendance of 18,876 in 41 home games in the 2023-24 NBA season, the 12th highest in the league.
