The 1922–23 Scottish football season was Celtic's 35th season of competitive football, in which they competed in the Scottish First Division and the Scottish Cup.
Celtic ended third in the league, below champions Rangers and runners-up Airdrieonians. It was the worst placement in the league for Celtic since the 1910-11 season, as they had ended either champions or runners-up for the previous eleven campaigns. The start of 1923 saw the team hit a rough patch of eight league games without a win, four defeats and four draws. They regained form somewhat after that, only losing one of their last 13 matches.
Their Scottish Cup campaign proved way more successful, as Celtic would be crowned champions for the 10th time, their 26th major domestic honour. Celtic eliminated Lochgelly United away and Hurlford, East Fife and Raith Rovers home to reach the semi-finals, in which they defeated Motherwell at Ibrox Park. In the final, Celtic defeated Hibernian 1-0 at Hampden Park.
This was the last full season at Celtic for captain Willie Cringan, as he would depart the club shortly after the beginning of the following campaign.
