The 2023–24 St. Louis Blues season was the 57th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established in 1967.

Following a 6–4 home loss to the Detroit Red Wings on December 12, 2023, head coach Craig Berube was fired. Drew Bannister, head coach of the Blues' AHL affiliate Springfield Thunderbirds, was named interim head coach.

On April 12, 2024, the Blues were eliminated from playoff contention for the second straight season for the first time since the 2009–10 season and the 2010–11 season following a 5–2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes and a 7–2 win by the Vegas Golden Knights over the Minnesota Wild.
