The 2023–24 Bristol City W.F.C. season was the club's eighth season under the Bristol City affiliation and the organisation's 25th overall season in existence. It was their first season back in the Women's Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid, following promotion as Championship winners, ending a two-year absence. Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.
Ahead of the season, the club confirmed the women's team's primary home ground would be the club's main stadium, Aston Gate, moving from the Robins High Performance Centre in Failand after one season. Megan Connolly was announced as the new captain on 19 September.
On 28 April 2024, Bristol City were relegated to the Championship after a 4–0 home defeat to Manchester City left the team eight points adrift from safety with two games left to play.
