The 2023–24 Aston Villa W.F.C. season was the club's 28th season under their Aston Villa affiliation. It was the organisation's 50th overall season in existence, and their fourth season in the Women's Super League (the highest level of the football pyramid). Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.
In November 2022, a new club crest was unveiled to be used from the start of the 2023–24 season, and it was later clarified that the new badge would be used exclusively on kits and training wear. The existing badge would continue to be used as the primary on all other channels, with consultations around a new permanent crest ongoing.
On 3 May 2024, it was announced that Carla Ward had taken the decision to step down as manager at the end of the season, despite having a year left on her contract.
