The 2023–24 Vancouver Canucks season was the 54th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on May 22, 1970.

On March 30, 2024, the Canucks clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2020, and their first in a 82-game season since 2015, after the San Jose Sharks defeated the St. Louis Blues. On April 16, 2024, the Canucks clinched the Pacific Division title for the first time in franchise history and their first franchise division title since winning the Northwest Division in 2013; following a 4–1 win over the Calgary Flames in their last regular season home game.

In game one of the playoffs in their first round series against the Nashville Predators, the Canucks played their first home playoff game at Rogers Arena since 2015, securing a 4–2 win over Nashville. The Canucks would go on to defeat the Predators in six games. In the second round, the Canucks faced the Edmonton Oilers, losing in seven games.
