The 2023 New Hampshire Wildcats football team represented the University of New Hampshire as a member of the Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference (CAA) in the 2023 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Wildcats were led by second-year head coach Ricky Santos and played their home games at Wildcat Stadium in Durham, New Hampshire.

The CAA, formerly known as the Colonial Athletic Association from 2007 through 2022, changed its name in July 2023 to accommodate future membership expansion outside of the Thirteen Colonies.
